Wind power is one of the fastest-growing forms of renewable energy. Global demand for power from offshore wind farms is expected to change the way offshore operators and transfer providers consider workforce safety and how they procure critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Strengthening the company’s position as the world’s leading Survival Technology solutions partner, Survitec has today announced the appointment of Robert Steen Kledal as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

London, UK – 6 May 2021 – Global Survival Technology leader, Survitec, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Hansen Protection, a leading European provider of personal protective equipment.

The transaction reinforces Survitec as the global leader for Survival Technology across the Maritime, Defence & Government, Energy, and Aerospace markets. Survitec’s complete portfolio and its wide-reaching footprint creates a single partner for customers across the globe.

HeliPPE has secured a three-year rental service agreement with Vattenfall as the PPE-supplier for European offshore wind activities.

HeliPPE will be supplying survival suits, lifejackets, harnesses and other relevant PPE to Vattenfall offshore sites in Denmark, Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom, with the agreement covering both helicopter and CTV equipment. HeliPPE will also be trusted with the service and support of Vattenfall’s own PPE with the new agreement.

Since 2013, HeliPPE has built a business as the efficient and green Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)-provider to the offshore wind industry in the North Sea.

The leasing PPE-concept offers by far the easiest PPE-solution in the industry: HeliPPE provides state-of-the-art PPE equipment where and when needed, taking all the logistics and hassle out of the equation as well as reducing the financial burden and the carbon footprint in the process.
