It’s clear that solutions like the XW series are growing in demand, managing the people/plant interface is vitally important in improving site safety.” Ray Copeland, Managing Director at Global Survey.
Xwatch started in early 2019 when a group of highly talented and experienced people came together from a variety of roles within the industry. The teams have over 140 years of combined knowledge in the development and creation of safety and machine control products; they are global leaders in safety.
Dan Leaney Xwatch Sales and Operations Director said, “We have been concentrating on growing our global presence since Xwatch began in 2019. We have dealers in over 20 countries worldwide including, Germany, Australia, Canada, Dubai, Hungary, Hong Kong, Scandinavia, and the USA.
