What HAKI UK does

HAKI is a Swedish-founded industrial safety equipment company established in 1959 in Sibbhult, Sweden, with a 65-year heritage in safe access solutions for construction and industrial customers. The company designs and manufactures a portfolio of integrated safety and access products organized around six core systems: Edge Protection (barrier systems and catchfans), Alsipercha Fall Protection (posts, clamps, tripods, and rail systems), Worker Safety (elebia lifting solutions, stairways, passerelle walkways), System Scaffold (modular configurations including birdcage, façade, and suspended), Weather Protection (HAKITEC 750 roofing, shelters, and temporary buildings), and Access Solutions (HAKI Stair Solutions, HAKI Bridge System). Bespoke platforms under the TechniSpan brand provide customized suspended platform configurations. Notable proprietary technology includes the V-Compression Post, a tool-less edge protection system supporting containment up to 4.5 metres.

The company's business model combines one-time equipment sales with professional services revenue from training programs (CISRS training, edge protection training, engineered concepts support) and design/engineering services (BIM, Lasco configurator, 3D scanner, full project design, tender support). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, reflecting the customized nature of safety system deployments for major construction and industrial projects. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, targeting two primary verticals — Commercial Construction (high-rise buildings, office towers) and Industrial/Energy (oil & gas, heavy industrial, offshore platforms) — with Infrastructure as a secondary segment. Marquee project engagements include CIBC Square, the Walkie Talkie skyscraper in London, and the Johan Sverdrup offshore development (utilizing 450 tonnes of HAKI equipment).

HAKI operates a global footprint with its original Swedish headquarters, a North American headquarters in Burlington, Ontario (2410 Industrial St), and a UK presence expanded through the 2024 acquisition of Semmco Group. The company maintains multiple sub-brands including HAKITEC 750, HAKI Edge, HAKI Bridge System, HAKI Stair Solutions, TechniSpan, elebia, and Alsipercha. Marketing channels include the company website (ca.haki.com), LinkedIn, YouTube, email newsletter, and project-specific case studies. The company is privately held with no evidence of external institutional investment or public listing.
