Through its Salvo brand specifically, the company provides proven loading bay safety system solutions that mitigate against human error and prevent serious accidents. Salvo ensures a controlled, safe sequence of operations between vehicles and bays with no civil work at the yard and requires minimum maintenance. Supported by over a century of safety expertise across the group, Salvo is trusted worldwide for reliability, simplicity, and importantly, performance.
Q Tell us about your recent innovations.
A Innovation has always been at the heart of the Salvo brand, and the Sentric Safety Group too, of course. Building on two decades of success, Salvo is preparing to launch two new loading bay safety products developed in close collaboration with customers to expand safety to more types of vehicles at the loading bay, and enhance the solution to protect against unexpected drive-aways and creep risks. These solutions address emerging warehouse challenges and reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to making safety smarter, simpler, and more efficient.
Q What challenges do your customers face and how are you helping them respond?
A Warehousing and logistics operations face increasing pressure for speed, automation, and compliance. These demands can heighten risk if safety isn’t built into processes. Salvo helps customers meet these challenges by integrating safety and efficiency. Its systems protect personnel while keeping goods moving, ensuring operations remain productive, compliant, and incident-free.

Our safety system solutions also support operational sustainability, preventing costly accidents, downtime, and environmental damage. Across the Group, sustainability and safety go hand in hand.
Q What trends have you seen in your sector this year?
A The sector is evolving rapidly, driven by automation, data connectivity, and growing safety expectations. Companies now view loading bay safety as a strategic investment, not an optional cost. There’s also a shift toward enabling facilities to monitor safety performance and compliance more effectively – a direction the Salvo brand continues to support.
Q What does your company and the Salvo brand have planned for 2026?
A The launch of two new Salvo products at the beginning of next year will mark a major step forward in the brand’s evolution.
