Canopy Brands Acquires Xtirpa and Services Sauvetage Technique

CANOPY BRANDS DESCENDS INTO WORKING AT DEPTHS WITH ACQUISITION OF XTIRPA AND SERVICES SAUVETAGE TECHNIQUE

Parent company of Safewaze, Bee Access, HySafe and Galaxy Lifts adds confined space category leaders

Canopy Brands, a growing family of trusted brands providing protection, access and mobility solutions, has acquired Innova Public Utility Products Inc. (the parent company of Xtirpa) and Services Sauvetage Technique (“SST”).

Based in Granby, Quebec, Xtirpa is a premium global provider of confined space fall arrest, rescue and retrieval equipment with a reputation for configurable solutions, advanced manufacturing and world-class training. Products include davit arms, pole hoist systems, tripods and accessories. SST is a Quebec-focused provider of work-site safety assessments, training and standby rescue services with distribution of confined space, gas detection and related fall protection equipment. Both businesses will operate as separate units at their current locations.

“Xtirpa is setting the global standard for confined space equipment, and SST has quickly become the go-to partner in Quebec for confined space and related safety training and assessment,” says Brian Colton, CEO of Canopy Brands. “We are confident that our combined resources and expertise will significantly accelerate the growth of these strong companies. We’re excited to welcome Xtirpa and SST to the Canopy Brands team.”

The combined companies will leverage each other’s capabilities and market presence to offer an expanded product line, accelerate innovation and increase our highly responsive technical and sales support.

“We are excited for the journey ahead as a part of Canopy Brands,” adds Martin Dufour, CEO of Xtirpa. “Our company has had tremendous success over the last three decades within the confined space market. This partnership will provide additional capital, sales reach and technical know-how to propel us forward.”
