What Fall Safe does
Fall Safe is a Portugal-headquartered fall protection equipment manufacturer, founded in 2003 (originally as RELIANCE, rebranded to FALL SAFE™ in 2024) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of US-based SureWerx since July 2024. The company designs, manufactures, and sells personal protective equipment for workers at height, including professional safety harnesses, positioning and fall-arrest lanyards, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), rescue and evacuation systems, horizontal lifeline systems, and supporting accessories. Its flagship technical differentiator is the F.L.O.™ SRL, which uses proprietary dual motion detection (velocity and acceleration sensing) to eliminate nuisance lock-ups while maintaining real fall protection; the Micro-Loc™ LE is a Class 2 SRL designed for leading-edge performance. The portfolio includes 2,000+ active SKUs supported by 3 production facilities and a dedicated engineering team, with services extending to equipment inspection (FALL SAFE INSPECTOR®) and lifeline installation.
The company serves three primary verticals: construction and industrial maintenance workers at height, the renewable energy sector (notably wind turbine maintenance), and infrastructure projects such as bridge construction. Geographically, Fall Safe operates across Europe (Portugal HQ), North America (SureWerx USA in Elgin, IL and SureWerx Canada in Coquitlam, BC), and EMEA (Slovenia office), with the North American market entered in 2024 following the SureWerx acquisition. The business model is hardware sales of certified PPE, distributed through direct e-commerce (fallsafe-online.com), regional field sales teams, and SureWerx's corporate distribution network; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to sales teams. Multi-jurisdictional regulatory certifications (CE, US, Canadian) and trademarked sub-brands (F.L.O.™, Micro-Loc™ LE) form the foundation of its competitive position in a $6B industrial fall protection market growing at 6.8% CAGR.
Commercial execution is supported by a specialized sales advisory team focused exclusively on fall protection, participation in major industry trade shows (A+A 2025, Intersec Dubai 2025), and integration partnerships (notably with RelSafe for horizontal lifeline systems). As a SureWerx subsidiary, Fall Safe benefits from the parent's North American distribution infrastructure, multi-brand corporate marketing, and ongoing M&A platform expansion (SureWerx also acquired Genesi S.r.l. in June 2026 for work-at-height and confined space solutions). The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
