Tactile and Safety System Installations for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Our products are installed in more than 100 countries across the European Union, beyond, and in Canada – at railway stations, in museums, at universities, in courthouses, shopping centres and public administration buildings. Since 2008 we have manufactured tactile indicators, stair nosings and anti-slip solutions at our own facility in Slovakia, and many of our earliest installations remain in full service today.
Below you'll find an overview of our key projects. You can filter by project type or country, or explore our hero case studies for in-depth project breakdowns.
