KARAM Safety, via KStrong Brazil, acquires 90% of Alteco, marking a key milestone in its global expansion and commitment to inorganic growth
New Delhi, August 22, 2025 : Karam Safety (KS Group), through its South American entity KStrong Brazil, has announced the acquisition of a 90% stake in Alteco Soluções em Altura, a leading Brazilian company in height safety, headquartered in southern Brazil. This strategic move marks a new chapter in the history of both companies, joining forces to drive innovation, expand service capacity, and reinforce their presence across Latin America. The acquisition reinforces KS Group’s global strategy of expanding operations through strategic partnerships and inorganic growth, with a clear goal of becoming the preferred choice among users worldwide. Alteco’s high-performance local manufacturing capabilities will play a key role in this journey. Hemant Sapra, President, Global Sales & Marketing, KS Group, said, “By welcoming Alteco into the KS Group, we are uniting our technological strengths with their deep local expertise. This synergy will be the foundation of a new era of growth and innovation for height safety in Brazil and across Latin America.” He further added, “Our acquisitions across multiple geographies are aligned with a single vision — to create a truly global ecosystem of safety.

Together, these steps position us as a comprehensive provider of world-class PPE solutions.” “We are proud of what we’ve built so far. This move represents the realization of a dream — to grow without giving up our values, our essence, and our commitment to the professionals who rely on our equipment every day,” says Fernanda Neves, Director at Alteco “This is a meeting of complementary philosophies.
