A small Esbjerg company that started in 1985 with a single purpose, to make work offshore safer, can celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.
Safe Transfer A/S produces specially designed baskets that are used to transport offshore workers between ships and platforms, and today the company delivers to customers in more than 40 countries.
What may sound like a simple solution is in practice a critical operation in harsh weather conditions where there is no room for error. That is precisely why the products from the Esbjerg company are used by both small and large operators in, among others, Norway, West Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
The basket system was originally developed by the shipping company ESVAGT, but has been an independent division under West-Marine A/S since 2014. According to CEO Carsten Larsen, it is the combination of robustness and safety that has made the products in demand internationally.
- We are not the world's largest company, but we deliver a product that people trust. And our safety basket has built that trust through 40 years of work with only one focus: uncompromising safety, he says.
Production continues in Esbjerg, where each basket is assembled and tested before being sent out to customers in the oil and gas industry, among others. According to the company, there are still baskets in use that were manufactured more than three decades ago.
In the most recent financial year, it appears that the profit has grown from 1.1 million. DKK to 1.7 million. DKK before tax. Looking at the company's last five financial years, the most recent accounts are the best when measured by profit before tax.
In addition, Safe Transfer itself reports increasing demand and more deliveries on a global level.
