BrandSafway
India has been delivering turnkey access solutions and multi discipline
industrial services for over two decades. Our offerings include scaffolding,
suspended access, rope access, painting, insulation, sheeting, cladding, and
cathodic protection, ensuring comprehensive support for complex industrial

A
key milestone in our growth journey in India is the introduction of forming and
shoring systems. This strategic expansion positions us to provide end-to-end
support across the entire project lifecycle from foundation to finish, from
renovation to maintenance works. We support a diverse array of complex, large

What products set you apart for projects in India?
At
BrandSafway, innovation is driven by the evolving needs of our customers. One
of our most impactful contributions to the industry is the development of the
CUPLOK® system. This genuine and original (SGB pioneered) scaffolding system is
ideal for a wide range of applications including continuous façade, circular
scaffold, birdcage access, and staircase access. It is one of the most widely
used scaffolding solutions on the planet.
A
more recent innovation in access is the successful implementation of our
suspended access system, QuikDeck®, which transforms time intensive scaffolding
jobs into safe and smooth operations, boosting productivity and safety in a
wide variety of applications.
We’re
also preparing to introduce an advanced Ringlock system to further enhance
flexibility and performance in access solutions for our customers.
In
recent months, BrandSafway India has added forming and shoring business unit
with modular panels, slab, shoring, Aluminum formwork systems, jump form and
safety systems to its client offerings, with the backing of the Hünnebeck and
BrandSafway design and engineering team, offering a wide range of digital
integrated tools.
What
truly sets us apart is our end to end support model, which includes
engineering, site supervision, and training ensuring safer, more productive,
and cost-effective project execution.
What future trends do you foresee in the construction industry,
and how is BrandSafway preparing to adapt to them?
The
growing trends in the Indian market not only encourage innovation, but also
highlight the vibrant potential in the forming and shoring segment in this
region.
We
recognize that the trend in the Indian market is increasing in aluminium
formwork and safety related solutions. BrandSafway is well-positioned to meet
this trend, with a product portfolio specifically aligned to support the
evolving needs of the industry in India.
We
continue to introduce new construction sector products to the Indian market across
the aluminum formwork segment, access solutions, and climbing technologies
while significantly expanding our presence to better support our growing
