History
Established in 1919, BrandSafway has grown internationally over many years, concentrating on safety products for construction and infrastructure initiatives. Since 2017, the organization has prioritized providing safety services tailored to the maintenance of aging infrastructure in North America, such as bridges.
By 2019, the company’s employee count surpassed 38,000. In September of that year, Brookfield Business Partners acquired a 45% ownership interest in BrandSafway, valuing the business at $6.7 billion. BrandSafway is known for managing intricate projects by supplying scaffolding and safety installations for historic landmarks like Milwaukee City Hall and St. Louis’s Old Cathedral. Toward the end of 2019, it was awarded a contract to perform scaffolding services on Seattle’s Space Needle.
In January 2020, BrandSafway expanded its turnkey construction and renovation expertise through the acquisition of AGF Access Group, based in Quebec. The company's service offerings grew further in 2021 with the purchase of Brace Industrial Group, which provides scaffolding, insulation, fireproofing, industrial coatings, lead and asbestos removal, concrete restoration, and refractory solutions.
