Our Solution in Action
How A-SAFE delivered safer, more efficient workspaces:
We've worked with 30+ Mars facilities across the U.S. to assess high-risk zones and design barrier layouts that protect people and equipment without slowing production. Our impact-tested polymer barriers, bollards, and guardrails absorb and dissipate collision energy, preventing damage, reducing downtime, and maintaining hygiene standards in food and beverage facilities.

What we Installed
Real Results in Food & Beverage Safety
A global chilled food producer was experiencing repeated forklift impacts at cold-room entrances, causing hygiene issues, packaging damage, and costly repairs.
A-SAFE installed temperature-rated impact barriers and bollards designed for -20°C performance, creating clear, separated traffic routes and replacing corroding steel rails with durable polymer systems.
The Results:
- 100% audit pass rate post-installation
- $121,000 in annual maintenance costs eliminated
- 40% fewer AQ interventions
- 3% increase in forklift traffic flow
- Significant reduction in contamination-related incidents
This success led to a multi-site rollout, standardizing safety and hygiene practices across their global network.
