In 1996 ASSA ABLOY AB acquired Sargent. along with several sister companies. and today. the company that still bears the Sargent name continues to manufacture some of the best lock products in the world. The Sargent brothers success is a reflection of what we so often envision as the American Dream and Joseph Sargent ensured that others could share in that same dream. Growing up in New Haven. almost every family had a least one member that worked at Winchester Repeating Arms or Sargent Manufacturing. Sargents welcomed new immigrants with open armsoffering them a job but more than that. an opportunity to provide a better life for their families. Like so many others. I have a personal connection to Sargentmy grandfather worked at the factory for many years.
