What fallprotec does

Fallprotec SL is a Barcelona-based Spanish manufacturer of certified fall-protection systems for working at height. The company designs and produces a broad hardware portfolio covering flexible cable lifelines (SecuRope®), rigid rail lifelines (SecuRail®), monorails for suspended work (SafeAccess®), safety ladders with integrated lifelines (SafeLadder®), battery-powered personal elevation systems (RopeClimber®), self-supporting railings (SECURILISSE®), roof safety walkways (SECURITOIT®), self-supporting overhead anchors for truck loading (Alsipercha®), davits, and anchor points. Through a partnership with FBA Gomyl, the offering extends to Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) and gondola systems, and a partnership with SOMAIN SECURITE adds PRFV (composite) lifelines for corrosive or electromagnetically sensitive environments.

The product portfolio is certified to a wide stack of European and international safety standards, including EN 795, EN 353-1, EN 12841, EN 1808, ATEX (for explosive atmospheres), and the PPE Directive 89/686/CE, with APAVE acting as the notified certification body. Fallprotec also delivers custom-engineered solutions for atypical sites, evidenced by installations at landmarks such as the Duomo di Milano, Paris Football Stadium, Port of Barcelona, Tianjin International Convention Center, SEAT Martorell, and Saint-Gobain Poland, as well as energy and research sites such as KAPSARC (Saudi Arabia), the Apple Research Center (Israel), and the Qatar Foundation. Newer product families extend the addressable surface into green roofs (Unipost Green), flat-roof counterweight anchoring (BlockAnchor), and logistics loading bays (Alsipercha Flexbow).

The business generates revenue through three streams: (i) hardware sales of certified fall-protection systems; (ii) installation and project services delivered by a network of certified installers; and (iii) training and certification services, including the Fallprotec Formación program run in partnership with Fundación Laboral de la Construcción. Go-to-market is channel-led: products are sold through a certified installer network active in more than 50 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Hardware carries a 10-year warranty, contingent on certified installation, which ties the channel and service layers back to the core product. The company is privately held with a small core team (1–10 employees) and is directed by Jose Fernández.
