\”The acquisition of Securimed gives us an opportunity to further grow our direct marketing business in Europe and expand into the safety and first aid market, which has proven resilient to the economic downturn, and where Securimed has a strong brand,\” said Peter Sephton, president of Brady Europe. \”With Securimed we can enhance the offer of workplace safety products through our Seton, Signals and Safetyshop brands in the rest of Europe, further strengthen our position in France, and have access to new customers in markets adjacent to safety identification.\”

Brady Corp. manufactures products to identify and protect premises, products and people, including high-performance labels and signs, safety devices, printing systems and software, and precision die-cut materials. Brady’s fiscal 2009 sales were $1.2 billion.
