About us
Fortress designs and manufactures customised safety equipment, protecting lives in hazardous workplaces. Our reputation is as a global provider of robust safety specifications for manufacturing environments. Why Interlocks? Interlocking is a method of controlling two or more interdependent operations which must take place in a predetermined sequence, if necessary remotely controlled or time delayed. The need for this sequence may be safety to personnel and equipment, or it may be to control processes and productivity. Over the last 40 years, Fortress has become well known in the industry for innovative design, robust engineering and reliability. Headquarters are in Wolverhampton (UK), with supporting offices and manufacturing facilities in the USA, Netherlands, Australia and China, further supported by a global network of trusted distributors and channel partners. Fortress is a subsidiary of Halma plc. Halma is an international group of companies that make products for hazard detection, life protection, personal and public health improvement and environmental protection. Halma has nearly 50 businesses in 23 countries and major operations in Europe, the USA and Asia. It is a FTSE 100 company quoted on the London Stock Exchange.

Phase rotation is crucial for both the safe operation of machinery and the effective functioning of safety devices. Practically, the rotation direction impacts the performance of equipment such as three-phase motors, generators, and transformers. The Remlive RL-24i Phase Indicator enables workers to verify the correct phase rotation without needing to open the distribution cabinet door or before making a connection. Additionally, it serves as a constant REMinder that an electrical circuit is live. We've recently been acquired by Fortress Safety and our indicators are available globally.

Last week, our Managing Director, Pete Browitt, represented us at a royal reception held at Windsor Castle hosted by His Majesty King Charles III. The event honoured our success in the recent King's Awards for Enterprise, where in May, we were recognised for our excellence in international trade and outstanding growth in overseas sales. Pete Browitt said: "It was an absolute pleasure to represent the company at this prestigious event. Visiting Windsor castle was quite something, but to be representing one of the winners with so many other companies was quite humbling". Formerly known as the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, this program is the UK's most prestigious business award, allowing winning businesses to use the esteemed King's Awards Emblem for the next five years. This achievement adds to our previous successes with the Queen's Awards for Innovation in 2007, and International Trade in 2008 and 2018.
