New Delhi, August 22, 2025 : Karam Safety (KS Group), through its South American entity KStrong
Brazil, has announced the acquisition of a 90% stake in Alteco Soluções em
Altura, a leading Brazilian company in height safety, headquartered in southern
Brazil. This strategic move marks a new chapter in the history of both
companies, joining forces to drive innovation, expand service capacity, and
reinforce their presence across Latin America.
The acquisition reinforces KS Group’s global strategy
of expanding operations through strategic partnerships and inorganic growth,
with a clear goal of becoming the preferred choice among users worldwide.
Alteco’s high-performance local manufacturing capabilities will play a key role
in this journey.
Hemant Sapra, President, Global Sales &
Marketing, KS Group, said, “By welcoming Alteco
into the KS Group, we are uniting our technological strengths with their deep
local expertise. This synergy will be the foundation of a new era of growth and
innovation for height safety in Brazil and across Latin America.”
He further added, “Our
acquisitions across multiple geographies are aligned with a single vision — to
create a truly global ecosystem of safety. With Midas Safety India, we
strengthened our hand protection portfolio; with HSE Solutions in South Africa,
we expanded our distribution and market reach; and with Alteco in Brazil, we
are fortifying our leadership in height safety. Together, these steps position
us as a comprehensive provider of world-class PPE solutions.”
“We are proud of what we’ve built so far. This move
represents the realization of a dream — to grow without giving up our values,
our essence, and our commitment to the professionals who rely on our equipment
every day,” says Fernanda Neves, Director at Alteco
“This is a meeting of complementary philosophies. The
KS Group brings technology and global scale. We offer local insight, hands-on
experience, and the attentive ear of those who are side by side with
professionals in the field,” highlights Marco Rossi, Partner at Alteco.
Over the coming months, the integration is expected to
deliver immediate gains in innovation, logistics, customer service, and the
development of new products. A new brand positioning, aggressive marketing
strategies, and initiatives to get even closer to customers are already
underway.
With this partnership, Alteco and KS Group establish a
solid commitment to the future of work at height safety in Brazil: a union of
global strength, local passion, and a shared focus on what truly matters —
life.
