Security expert ABUS is transferring its extensive expertise in the field of high-quality cycling and equestrian helmets to the world of personal protective equipment (PPE) with the introduction of high-quality protective helmets for commercial use.
In doing so, the company is setting new standards in terms of safety and comfort in the workplace. Because: “Only a helmet that offers optimum comfort will be worn (willingly). With this in mind, we set out to develop professional protective helmets for various areas of application. And we have achieved this!” says Dennis Quensel, who is responsible for the new range as Business Development Manager.
Two product lines at the outset – Scator and Spector, also available as electric versions
ABUS is launching its PPE range with two different helmet series. The Spector series helmets combine design, construction, and material selection to ensure maximum comfort, as is also familiar from ABUS bicycle helmets. The Spector models are available as ventilated industrial climbing helmets for working at heights (in accordance with EN 12492) and as electrician's helmets (EN 50365). The helmets in the Scator series are industrial safety helmets and therefore an indispensable companion on construction sites and in industry. They protect against head injuries caused by falling objects, impacts, and other hazards. The Scator is also available in a special version as a protective helmet for electricians. Regardless of the specific standards, all helmets in the ABUS PPE range comply with the EN 397 standard for industrial safety helmets.
Accessories and printing – versatile options for custom-configured helmets
Whether safety glasses, hearing protection, eye and face protection, or neck protection – depending on the area of application, ABUS safety helmets can be equipped with the appropriate accessories to meet the user's exact requirements. ABUS also offers additional customization services for customers purchasing certain quantities, such as choosing a color or applying a company logo using various printing techniques. ABUS focuses specifically on the wishes of its customers.
Expertise in head protection and LOTO interlocks as a basis
According to Sebastian Rothe, Head of Safety at ABUS, entering the world of industrial safety helmets is only logical: "On the one hand, we are using our many years of expertise in the development of cycling and riding helmets to offer innovative solutions in the field of occupational safety. Thanks to our collaboration with professional athletes and experts, we have continuously perfected effective ventilation systems and innovative adjustment mechanisms, for example. These are now being incorporated into PPE helmets. On the other hand, we have been represented in the safety industry for decades with other products: whether with our padlocks, access control systems, video surveillance technology, or our lockout/tagout range. The introduction of protective helmets is a logical consequence thanks to our industry experience and product expertise in the helmet sector."
With this expansion of its product portfolio, ABUS is underlining its commitment to comprehensive security solutions and positioning itself as a competent partner for companies that place the highest value on protecting their employees.
