Through a spin-off from Skåne-Gripen, the company Midway Holding was established in 1989, which consisted of a diversified, dispersed ownership of individual companies or groups of companies.
After several years of divesting and discontinuing operations to strengthen the Group’s balance sheet, work began to develop a strategy that was launched at the end of 2018. At that time, it was determined that there was significantly greater long-term potential in building an industrial group based on safe working conditions at temporary workplaces centred around HAKI’s system scaffolds than in continuing as a conglomerate.
Several companies were subsequently acquired, adding both products and geographical breadth to the HAKI operation. To clarify the company's strategy change, the company was renamed HAKI Safety in December 2023.
The UK company Span Access Solutions (2019) was the first company acquired as part of the Group's streamlining. It offers customised solutions – including a proprietary suspended platform – that contribute to safe and efficient solutions in complex environments. The acquisition of Vertemax (2021), based in the UK with offices in Canada and Slovenia, provided both geographical expansion and a broader product range for safe working at height with products such as barrier systems and catchfans as well as stairways and bridge systems.
The French company Novakorp Systems (2022) complemented the Group geographically in French-speaking Europe as well as in terms of products, with solutions for safe work at height, such as barrier systems and catchfans as well as stairways and spaghetti mats. EKRO Bausystem (2022), with its home market in Austria, expanded the Group into German-speaking parts of Europe, adding a range of products for safe workplaces such as system scaffold, lifts and barrier systems.
With the acquisition of Semmco Group (2024), the Group’s offering expanded into the aviation and rail sectors. The company manufactures and supplies specially developed access platforms, steps, and docking systems primarily for international aviation and train companies. Manufacturing and sales are conducted in England and the US. In light of the very good experiences from the Group's Norwegian geodesy operation, Norgeodesi, Swedish Trimtec (2025) was acquired. Trimtec, too, is a distributor of Trimble’s precision equipment for cadastral surveying and mapping. With the acquisition, the Group’s geodesy offering was broadened to the Swedish market and enabled a complete offering, from project planning to delivery of safety products.
EKRO, Semmco and Trimtec continue to be brands within the Group. The products of the other companies have been renamed to the HAKI brand.
Included in the Group's strategy is to expand operations to more countries, primarily in Europe and North America, through acquisitions, organic growth and strategic growth initiatives.
HAKI Safety also includes the stand-alone company Landqvist Mekaniska which is being developed together with its management team, focusing mainly on organic growth.
HAKI Safety’s most important mission
Innovation and improvement are the focus of everything HAKI Safety does. We are always heading for growth, finding new business opportunities, and developing new ways to help our customers.
However, much more important than having perhaps the best products and solutions in the world, is what they can do for people. We are here to make life safer for people working in challenging environments worldwide. It is the motivation behind everything we do.
We are proud of our history. Our high-quality solutions are the product of decades of experience and knowledge. But we have always been successful because of what we plan to do tomorrow, not what we have done in the past. That is the only thing that will never change.
This is HAKI Safety. And we are on an important mission: to make life safer for everyone working in temporary and often complex workplaces in challenging environments.
We never compromise on safety.
