“We are setting ourselves the goal to become the major supplier of lifting products in the African market, and will use Johannesburg as our base,” says managing director Johan Lilja. “We will during the coming months establish a strong International, Intelligence and Innovation Business Centre (IBC) in Johannesburg to be able to give stronger support and assistance to our distributors in the region.”
“We have been a strong manufacturer of polyester webbing based products in South Africa for many years and to be able to make a difference and impact with safety harnesses in the International market we had to look for a strong partner.”
Brian Bland, managing director of Quality Safety, said: “We see the deal as a positive step to enter into the international market via Gunnebo Industries’ excellent world wide distribution network. We expect a strong growth together with Gunnebo Industries in South Africa.”
