Halma plc, the global group of life-saving technology companies, today announces it has acquired Safetec, an Italian-based provider of integrated fire and gas safety systems for industrial markets.
Established in 2003, Safetec delivers customised fire and gas safety solutions for large-scale, complex and high-risk industrial projects. Safetec stands out for its deep engineering expertise and strong customer partnerships.

Safetec will operate as a standalone company within Halma's Safety Sector, led by its current management team.

We are pleased to welcome Safetec to Halma and excited by the opportunities for its continued growth.”
