A-Safe HQ Ltd

When A-SAFE invented the world’s first flexible, polymer-based barrier in 2001 it transformed health and safety and barrier protection in the industrial workplace.

The core properties of A-SAFE barriers then, remain in place today – on impact from a workplace vehicle, A-SAFE barriers flex, absorb 80% of the impact forces, then reform to their original state.

This principle alone saves companies vast amounts on their health and safety budgets. Replacement barriers, manpower and downtime are greatly reduced and the ultra-low maintenance properties of the MemaplexTM polymer (no repainting, non-scratch, non-corrosive, no substrate repairs) means the return on investment is increased even further – and is fast and permanent.

When A-SAFE barriers were installed in the baggage handling area in Gatwick Airport, barrier maintenance and replacement costs were cut from £100,000 per year, to just £3,000 over a five-year period.

iFlex

In 2016, A-SAFE launched the iFlex barrier range, enhancing the company commitment to protect people and property in the industrial workplace:

Posts are now 400% stronger and rails 60% stronger and longer, creating a safer, more economical system.
A built-in modularity gives customers ultimate flexibility, allowing barriers to move or adapt as a facility changes.
Hygiene seals and an absence of ingress points are revolutionary for sensitive manufacturing industries such as food and drink or pharmaceutical.
A multi-directional capability allows the barriers to fit better and more economically in to any facility, removing the hard angles that can often be the cause of accidents.

In addition to improved safety, A-SAFE barriers carry other benefits which can improve the performance of a facility and offer an even stronger return on investment:

A well-protected, well-organised, modern looking facility not only protects a business’s assets, it reassures and invigorates the personnel, boosting productivity and morale in the process.
A seamless, streamlined exterior combines with a uniform cylindrical design to create an organised aesthetic appeal for modern workplaces.
A carbon footprint reduction of 450% over steel equivalents, taking into account the manufacturing processes, reduced maintenance demands and vastly decreased need for replacement barriers.

Industries

A-SAFE products are for use in most industrial environments, including: warehousing, factories, facilities management, airports, car parks, food and drink manufacturing, pharmaceutical, automotive manufacturing, cold storage, distribution centres, retail outlets, rail, transport depots and more.

Fully Tested & Compliant

All A-SAFE barriers are fully tested in-house using in-depth FEA analysis on independently-approved equipment so they meet – and surpass – all relevant regulations.

A-SAFE use a scientific understanding of the impact forces created by workplace vehicles at different speeds, loads and angles in order to always install barriers that are fit for purpose.

A-SAFE Clients

Some of A-SAFE’s clients are: Amazon, Unilever, Nestlé, 3M, IKEA, BMW, Jaguar Landrover, Lego, Caterpillar, UPS, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Smurfit Kappa, Proctor and Gamble, MARS, Kimberly Clark, Kuehne + Nagel, Volkswagen.

Awards & Accolades

2014 – The Queen’s Award for International Trade

2015 – The iF Award for innovation for the iFlex RackGuard

2015 – A-SAFE were placed #33rd in The Sunday Times Top 100 of the fastest growing UK SME exporters

2016 – iFlex barrier range won the iF Award in the Industry/Skilled Trades category

Karcher UK Limited

We are working on new solutions – full steam ahead. Today as we always have.

Alfred Kärcher – inventor and entrepreneur

Alfred Kärcher, like Robert Bosch, Gottlieb Daimler and Graf Zeppelin, was one of the inventors and entrepreneurs that Württemberg produced in such great number since the beginning of the industrial era. With the utmost commitment, he dedicated himself to bringing his ideas to fruition. In 1924, the then 23-year-old completed his studies at the Technical University of Stuttgart and worked first of all at his father's agency, which he developed into an engineer's office. In 1935 he founded his own company in Bad Cannstatt, Stuttgart so that he could produce and market his own products in the field of heating technology. Alfred Kärcher designed and built the "Kärcher salt bath furnace", among other products, for tempering steel and light metal in industry according to his own patent.

In 1939, the family-owned company relocated to Winnenden, where it still has its headquarters. By this time the company was also producing heating devices for aircraft engines and cabin heating systems. Following the Second World War, the company turned its attention to products for urgent, everyday use: round stoves, small cookers, handcarts and trailers for tractors.

Move into cleaning technology

Alfred Kärcher made his breakthrough into the cleaning technology industry in 1950 with the development of the first European hot water high-pressure cleaner (the DS 350 steam jet). The design of the water heater proved to be so pioneering that it still forms the basis of all burners today.

Like so many, Alfred Kärcher did not live to see the global success of his innovation. When he died on 17 September 1959 at the age of 58, his wife Irene took over the management of the company and steered its fortunes for three decades. Today their children Johannes Kärcher and Susanne Zimmermann von Siefart are in charge of the family-owned company in its second generation.

Internationalisation

In 1962, Kärcher founded its first foreign subsidiary in France, followed by Austria and Switzerland. Internationalisation continued apace. In 1975, Kärcher opened a factory in Brazil; 10 years later, the company had founded 16 sales companies in North America, Africa, Australia and elsewhere. By 2012, Kärcher was represented by subsidiaries in 57 countries and generating 85% of its sales abroad. With 40,000 customer service points in over 190 countries, Kärcher provides comprehensive support to its customers all over the world.

Growth through innovation

After a phase of diversification, Kärcher turned its attention to high-pressure cleaning in 1974. During this period, the colour of the machines was changed from blue to the now world-famous Kärcher yellow. In 1980, the company expanded its product range to cover basic cleaning requirements, initially in the areas of transport and buildings. Step by step, the range was expanded with the addition of wet and dry vacuum cleaners, sweeper vacuums and scrubber driers, vehicle washing bays, steam cleaners, cleaning agents and drinking water and wastewater treatment systems.

Among the milestones in Kärcher's history was the introduction in 1984 of the HD 555 profi, the first portable high-pressure cleaner, and the subsequent expansion into the consumer market. In 1993, this range was expanded to include indoor products and Kärcher has since added steam cleaners and vacuum cleaners for private households to its range. The RoboCleaner RC 3000 was launched in 2003 as the world's first fully automatic robotic vacuum cleaner. In 2007, Kärcher moved into the completely new sector of gardening, which includes pumps for watering, water removal and service water supply in households, as well as an extensive range of accessories.

In 1986, Kärcher launched its pioneering roller brush technology for scrubber driers in the professional range. Thanks to the development of a new rotary nozzle (dirt blaster) in 1995, the cleaning effect of the high-pressure cleaner was almost doubled. The dust intake of commercial wet and dry vacuum cleaners was continuously improved, and in 2007 the innovative TACT filter cleaning system was launched. New procedures were also developed in the course of worldwide cleaning projects: the 284 travertine columns on St Peter's Square in Rome were restored using a specially developed spray process over a total area of 25,000 m². Since 2009, Kärcher has been selling ultra-high pressure cleaners, which, at up to 2,500 bar pressure, not only clean but restore facades and strip concrete. In the same year, a multipurpose municipal sweeper was released onto the market and new target groups were gained with the launch of water dispensers.

Kärcher becomes a global market leader

Innovation has been and continues to be the most important growth factor. In 2011 alone, Kärcher launched over 100 new products. The global market leader in cleaning technology will continue to be characterised by its ingenuity, top performance and innovative problem solving.
