The eighties saw the technological development of the family company increase as key cutting systems rapidly evolved and improved to meet the ever-changing needs in the market place. In 1988, Camillo's son, Massimo created the first electronic key-cutting machine. This opened an even wider horizon for market and product development. An individual no longer needed the original key to cut a copy, a key code was adequate.

Electronic keys appeared in the eighties. This marked the beginning of a new era, developing the key market even further with the marriage of the key to this sophisticated electronic technology and the moving of the Bianchi family destiny to the forefront of this technology.

In 1997, Massimo Bianchi, Chairman of the large family firm, signed the merger of the company with the Unican Group, making it a multinational leader of which he served as Vice Chairman. A subsequent merger with the Kaba Group consolidated even further the group's leading position in the world. It was a strategic decision that took the family to the top of the world in the key market.
