Fortress to amp up workplace safety with strategic acquisition

Fortress Safety has swooped for Remlive, a company that specialises in electrical safety warning indicators.
Kings Award winner Fortress says the move will enhance its product portfolio, by integrating Bingley-based Remlive’s advanced live circuit detection technology, which helps reduce workplace accidents and improve overall safety.

The acquisition allows Wolverhampton-headquartered Fortress to expand its offerings in the safety market while leveraging the expertise of Remlive in electrical safety. The combined skill sets open up new possibilities for developing innovative technologies.
John Rollason, managing director of Remlive said: “Fortress has the expertise and market reach to accelerate our mission to improve safety in the workplace. We see huge potential to enhance global workplace safety and bring innovative new product ideas to market by combining our electrical safety capabilities with Fortress machinery safety expertise”.
Pete Browitt, managing director of Fortress Safety said: “Remlive and their indicator products have a strong market reputation. This acquisition allows us to further live our purpose of ‘saving lives by providing the best safety solutions’. By adding Remlive to our portfolio, we strengthen our position as machinery safety experts and enhance our ability to help our customers provide comprehensive solutions that ensure people’s safety.”
