NO BARRIERS TO SAFETY HERE:


A CLOSER LOOK AT BOPLAN UK Boplan tell us more about their plan to grow and expand in line


with UK consumer’s needs, as well as their latest expansion in the UK with the setting up of a direct office in Wolverhampton.


Boplan UK was formed in March 2016 and is part of The Boplan Group, comprised of offices across France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain and the USA. Boplan’s Head Office is in Belgium, where the organisation was formed and created in 1998 by Xavier Ramon, the creator of the original polymer barrier system.


Boplan specialises in the manufacture and installation of polymer barriers and protective equipment all designed to protect people, infrastructure and goods from vehicles. The safety manufacturer designs, develops and manufactures sustainable and highly effective fall and collision protection for the most demanding environments. During the production of all safety products Boplan use high-quality and high-performance polymers, with properties that far surpass those of traditional materials.


The modular safety systems produced by Boplan have been designed to protect numerous industrial buildings, warehouses, factories, airports, drilling platforms and (petro)chemical sites worldwide, with each specific application having a designated safety solution.


SUSTAINABILITY AT THE FORE Boplan’s passion for sustainability is visible via all of their products and services which are created with a high degree of cradle-to-cradle philosophy.

Being environmentally friendly and energy efficient is another focus for the Boplan team which can be seen in the head office in Moorsele. The new offices are a model of sustainability with power cultivated via solar panels, healthy building materials, optimal use of natural light, extensive insulation and ventilation with air-driven heat pumps. Due to expansion and forward orders, the manufacturing capacity is set to be doubled in 2017.


A BURGEONING ENTERPRISE Recently Boplan has expanded their operations in the UK with the creation of a direct office, providing a welcome alternative to current market providers. As part of the launch the company will be exhibiting at Health and Safety Midlands (NEC) 21st to 23rd March, Health and Safety Scotland, (SECC) 3rd to 4th May and Health and Safety North in Manchester, Event City 10th to 11th October to promote their services further.


Boplan UK attended the health and safety northern show in 2016 as part of their pre-launch campaign. The reception was so warm, and the quality of visitor was so high, that they have decided to exhibit at the full programme of Western Business Media Health and Safety shows in 2017 starting in Birmingham next month.
