ae&t joins forces with British manufacturer E2S Warning Signals

On 31 January 2019, E2S acquired ae&t, a French specialist in industrial safety and the protection of property and people since 1976.

E2S is the world's most renowned independent British manufacturer of safety signalling systems and offers the most extensive range of products on the market for industry, public buildings, marine and ATEX zones. As a key partner for over 25 years, ae&t markets the full E2S range: audible alarms, visual alarms, ATEX signalling and equipment, audible and visual alarms, etc.

This partnership is therefore a logical step.

ae&t also offers a wide range of in-house designed safety solutions, as well as product ranges developed in partnership with or carefully selected from other partner manufacturers. All these products and solutions – whether alert or communication networks for PPI, POI, PPMS or other emergency plans, or equipment for protecting property and people – will continue to be supported by ae&t with the same commitment to development.

Beyond products and solutions, a common vision is emerging: to become the European leader in connected signalling and alert solutions.

Both companies share the same values: Listening, Commitment, Kindness, Responsibility, Trust.

Brett Isard, Managing Director of E2S, says: ‘The acquisition of ae&t is a strategic step forward in France and Europe. We have been working with ae&t for many years and this merger makes sense given the current market dynamics, which favour greater presence and direct involvement by the manufacturer.’

Eric Greven, Managing Director of ae&t, explains the advantages of this acquisition: "This alliance enhances our complementarity in terms of markets and products. ae&t benefits from the technical, logistical and financial support of an international group to strengthen its brand and presence. We are known for the rapid availability of the most popular products within 48 hours, for our product warranty of up to three years from purchase, and for our technical hotline. We are constantly striving to meet our customers' needs: more support, free loan of products for testing, more extensive stocking of products, and more.

For our part, we bring our unique expertise in connected alert solutions to E2S. Indeed, one of the strengths of this collaboration lies in the exchanges between engineers from the ae&t and E2S design offices. Numerous innovative projects are under discussion, all with the same mission: to contribute to risk prevention and the protection of human life.
