Safe Life, a Stockholm-based provider of life-saving solutions with portfolio companies across Europe and North America, has acquired Derbyshire-based Defib Store.
The acquisition marks Safe Life’s third in the UK and 25th since inception.
Defib Store is an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) cabinet manufacturer and independent defibrillator supplier with expertise developed through 30 years of designing and manufacturing bespoke cabinets and specialist enclosures based at offices in Derbyshire.
“We are happy to welcome Defib Store’s employees to Safe Life,” says Jimmy Eriksson, Safe Life CEO. “The United Kingdom is an important market for Safe Life, and with the stellar reputation Defib Store has earned, we now have a solid base to continue building our infrastructure in the UK to save more lives.”
“We are excited to join Safe Life not only to bring the best minds onboard, but also contributing in its mission to saving lives on a global scale,” said Alex Bennett, Co-Founder at Defib Store.
“I feel it is the responsible decision to join Safe Life for the benefit of Defib Store’s customers, employees and future due to the significant investments in our collective mission that Safe Life continues to make.”
With a recent capital raise, Safe Life is in position to continue to make strategic acquisitions in its core geographical markets.
