Safe Life Expands into the Swiss Market with ResQshock Acquisition

In a significant move within the medical technology sector, Safe Life, a prominent provider of life-saving solutions operating across Europe and North America, has officially acquired ResQshock, a Switzerland-based company specializing in the distribution and servicing of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). This acquisition marks a strategic expansion of Safe Life's footprint in the Swiss market, reinforcing its position as a leader in the European AED landscape.

Founded with the mission of improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest in Switzerland, ResQshock has established itself as a trusted partner for businesses, communities, and institutions nationwide. The company has built a solid reputation based on its commitment to customer service and product quality, experiencing notable growth in recent years.

Jimmy Eriksson, CEO of Safe Life, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome ResQshock into the Safe Life family. Their strong market presence, experienced team, and excellent customer relations are reflective of Safe Life's core values and direction. With a leading position in Switzerland, we are taking a substantial step towards our goal of making life-saving technology more accessible across Europe."

Under the auspices of Safe Life, ResQshock will continue to operate under its renowned brand, benefitting from enhanced resources, a wider product portfolio, and the international distribution capabilities of Safe Life. This merger is designed to combine ResQshock’s local expertise with Safe Life’s scalable global infrastructure—a fundamental aspect of Safe Life’s strategic vision.

Flavio Nardone, managing director of ResQshock, remarked, "I am very excited about collaborating with Safe Life. This partnership opens up great opportunities for both our customers and our team. We have built something remarkable in Switzerland and are now ready to take it to the next level. The philosophy and mission of Safe Life resonate with our own, and together, we can significantly contribute to saving more lives."

The acquisition aligns with Safe Life's ambitious growth strategy in Europe and comes at a time of increasing demand for AEDs and public safety equipment. With this strategic move, Safe Life aims to continue exploring opportunities to expand its reach and impact within the life-saving technology sector.
