DURBAN, 15th September 2017<br />
BBF Safety Group announced its acquisition of Quality Safety, a local<br />
manufacturer of personal and general protective equipment (PPE).<br />
Through the acquisition, BBF Safety Group is now able to offers its customers<br />
a broad portfolio of quality workplace safety products, providing head-to-toe<br />
protection for wearers across multiple industries, ranging from agriculture to<br />

“Our transformation from a leading safety footwear manufacturer to a<br />

acquisition of Quality Safety. With an extensive PPE product portfolio and<br />
access to a range of advisory services, customers can now look to BBF Safety<br />
Group as a full provider of workplace safety solutions,” says Wolfgang Beier,<br />
