"Since its inception in 1988, JOKAB SAFETY has been ad­hering to the business concept of developing innovative products and solutions for machine safety. The company has supplied everything from individual safety components to fully installed protection systems for entire production lines and works on a daily basis with the practical applica­tion of safety requirements in combination with produc­tion requirements. JOKAB SAFETY is also represented on a variety of international standards committees concerned with the safety of machinery which means that we have now added this very valuable experience and knowledge to our offering. Similarly, ABB has always been a pioneer and a representative for its business areas and a power­ful voice in professional organizations and committees. All in all, this creates an enormous bank of knowledge and experience that we look forward to sharing with our customers.","The fact that the leading power and automation technology company, ABB, and a leader in machine safety, JOKAB SAFETY, are joining forces means a lot more than just a new organizational chart. ABB has a huge footprint in indus­try - from power supply to the control of each individual mo­tor - and has been delivering reliable solutions for decades that boost productivity. The acquisition of JOKAB SAFETY now means that an additional building block is in place. JOKAB SAFETY can now offer our customers tailored, turnkey solutions where machine safety is an integral and value-enhancing component.","Productivity and safety are not contradictory terms. On the contrary, JOKAB SAFETY knows safety solutions that are properly executed and adapted from the beginning will increase productivity. A partner that can deliver integrated and well thought out turnkey solutions enables a production-friendly safety environment. By building up and upgrading safety solutions in existing environments in a smart way, the mode of production will not need to be adapted to meet the requirements that safety sets. Instead, this allows a system that is manufacturing-friendly and that takes into account the business and its productivity objectives."
