In 2023, they further bolstered their capabilities by acquiring Arrow Industrial Solutions, focusing on machine safeguarding integration.

With the addition of McLoone, Clarion is moving to solidify its position as a leader in visual safety communication. The acquisition signifies a proactive approach to market demands, ensuring that Clarion remains at the forefront of safety solutions.
