Through a spin-off from Skåne-Gripen, the company Midway Holding was established in 1989, which has since changed its character several times through acquisitions and divestments. In December 2023, the company changed its name to HAKI Safety.
With its base in the well-established Swedish brand HAKI, founded in 1956, the Group's product portfolio and geographical presence have broadened in recent years through acquisitions. The acquisitions have meant that the Group is exposed to more sectors and that the range of safety products and solutions has increased. They have also enabled synergies in purchasing, production, logistics, and sales.
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. The Middle East and Asian markets are served through a sales office in Dubai, UAE.
EKRO and Semmco continue to be brands within the Group. The products of the other companies have been renamed to the HAKI brand.
The group's goal is to continue to develop its strong position in Europe. The range of safety products and solutions for projects in different sectors is to be strengthened with organic growth initiatives and bolt-on acquisitions.
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.
