Halma acquires Lazer Safe

Halma, a global group of safety technology companies, has agreed to acquire a company that protects workers involved in metal fabrication.

Based in Perth, Australia, Lazer Safe’s laser technology automatically stops press brake machinery when a worker gets dangerously close.

“Growth across industries like automotive, mass transportation, construction, and energy generation is creating an increased demand for press brake machines driven by the rising consumption of sheet metal,” said Ian Costley, co-founder and CEO of Lazer Safe. “By joining Halma, Lazer Safe can continue to grow internationally, helping more manufacturers protect their workforce, adapt to increasing safety regulations, and enhance productivity.”
