Canada’s Allsalt Maritime sold

United Safety, a global manufacturer of safety and survivability technology solutions, has announced the acquisition of Allsalt Maritime which closed on 31 December 2022.

Since 2007, Canada based Allsalt Maritime has been known for its Shoxs product line of impact-mitigation seating. In 2019, the company introduced Kinetix, a shock-monitoring solution that captures wave impacts and delivers real-time data for maritime agencies to adopt a proactive strategy for crew safety and vessel health. Utilised across a spectrum of marine applications including military, commercial and recreational marine, Allsalt’s seating can be found on vessels around the globe including the United States Navy, Royal Navy, Coast Guards and Special Forces.

United Safety has made several strategic acquisitions over the last few years to continue the growth of its product portfolio. “The acquisition of Allsalt Maritime is one that has been in consideration for the better part of a decade, and I’m thrilled to welcome them to the United Safety family,” says Joseph Mirabile, CEO and president of United Safety.

“As an organisation that has been committed to protecting our armed forces on land, we are now proud to be able to protect soldiers at sea. The alignment of Allsalt’s technology, particularly the Kinetix technology, with our own commitment to occupational drivers and measuring and protecting against the harm that comes from full body vibration is truly unique and will result in some of the most sophisticated seating technology that exists in the world today. We are excited to be able to provide this extremely advanced and unique technology to a broader audience.”

Ray Cao, Allsalt CEO, comments: “Becoming part of the United Safety family will pave the way for Allsalt products to be fitted to a wider range of boat styles and console configurations in response to the explosive adoption of suspension seating technology in the recreational channel. Safety as a core pillar, along with extensive experience in government and first responder customer bases, really made United Safety feel like the right partner to be able to bring our brand and our team to the next level of success.”

Allsalt Maritime will join Fireboy® – Xintex® as United Safety continues to grow its product offerings in the marine space.
