“Blackline Safety has grown to over 380 employees globally, with
more than 50 personnel in Europe. From France to Finland, many team
members are deployed across mainland Europe who support our
customers and distribution partners locally,” said Gavin Boorman,
Managing Director of Blackline Safety Europe. “We have already
assembled a diverse and multi-lingual team at our European
headquarters in Colchester, UK. Establishing Blackline Safety
Europe SAS in France is the logical next step to increase the
strength of our brand and our reach into mainland European
markets.”
To increase the level of support for distributors and end
clients, Blackline’s France-based distribution and service facility
will integrate with its EU-based sales personnel who are deployed
throughout targeted regions, including product specialists,
business developers, technicians and other support roles.
“Our G7 line of products and services has dramatically extended
the reach of Blackline’s cloud-connected safety technologies over
the last few years, now with client deployments in over 70
countries,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair of Blackline Safety.
“Being the global leader in cloud-connected gas detection, we
recognise the value of being local and continue to invest into key
markets. Our investment into a new facility in France is further
evidence of our commitment to the European market and our customers
that span the utilities, manufacturing, heavy industry, renewables
and conventional energy sectors.”
Blackline produces a complete portfolio of cloud-connected G7
safety wearables for lone worker monitoring and environmental gas
detection, plus a new line of G7 EXO area gas monitors. Sharing a
lineup of over 20 gas sensors, Blackline’s G7 wearables and EXO
area monitors provide leading wireless configurability and easy
deployment, connecting directly to the Blackline Cloud. No matter
if it’s a gas leak, a worker injury or health event, Blackline
devices call for help and trigger an emergency response to the
employee’s location.
Serving the European Union, Blackline Safety Europe SAS will be
strategically located in the industrial heart of continental Europe
in northeastern France near Lille, offering proximity to an
international rail station and airport. Situated next to A26 and A1
motorways, Blackline Safety Europe SAS will share an industrial
park with an international courier company. Featuring office space,
warehousing and a technical workshop, the Blackline Safety Europe
SAS facility will begin operation in Blackline’s fiscal Q3
2021.
