Wescom Group acquires leading safety technology company Eflare Corporation

06/02/2024

World-leading survival solutions manufacturer Wescom Group has expanded its influence in the emergency signalling market by acquiring Australian-based safety technology company Eflare Corporation Pty Ltd, a leading global supplier of electronic safety devices in the industrial and emergency services sectors.

The acquisition of Eflare Corporation is a natural enhancement of Wescom Group’s capabilities in electronic signalling, following the 2022 acquisition of Hull-based distress beacons manufacturer Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd, and complements Wescom Groups’ safety and survival product portfolio.

For more than 25 years the Eflare brand has been synonymous with versatile, portable electronic perimeter safety lighting solutions, tailored to meet the requirements of a wide range of industries, making them the go-to brand in harsh environments where reliability saves lives.

Wescom Group Chief Executive Officer, Ross Wilkinson comments,

“Today we can announce the successful completion of the acquisition of Eflare Corporation Pty Ltd, that will enhance Wescom Group’s signalling capabilities. We are excited to work with the management team on growing the business through the Group’s distribution network, whilst also having a strong focus on new product development programs.”
