Justrite™ acquires First Safety Corporation
Established in 1991, the Janesville, WI, company services the industrial, safety, and scientific markets with high-quality equipment designed for handling gas cylinders. Products include: barricade racks, handling trucks, cylinder pallets, cylinder security cabinets, fire barrier equipped products, and more.
“As a manufacturer of products that safely handle and store compressed gas containers, First Safety is a logical adjacency to Justrite’s chemical management business unit,” stated Mark
McElhinny, Justrite President and CEO. “The new line complements Justrite’s existing aluminum cylinder and LPG lockers, and offers our customers a greater depth of solutions for
gas cylinder management. Our worldwide network of industrial distributors will benefit from consolidating their safety purchases through one of the most trusted brands in the industry.”
Due to the inherent nature of gas cylinders, all products offer robust designs to ensure
safe handling during storage or transport. Engineered to meet the highest safety
standards, all hand trucks, racks, and stands feature an exclusive zero lift height base,
braced on three sides—no dangerous rolling or tilting of cylinders during placement. In
addition to standard models, custom engineered products are available to meet special
needs.
