40 years driven by safety – the history of Scafftag

Clear visibility of any equipment’s inspection and safety status at the point of use, with the ability to immediately leave that asset, in prohibition, by simply removing the insert. That has been for 40 years, and still is, Scafftag’s core value proposal to businesses worldwide.

Scafftag was founded in 1982 in a house in Barry, Wales. The aim – to start providing scaffolding safety solutions for oil & gas companies, with just two people and contractors.

After 40 years of continuous evolution, Scafftag moves into a new facility, which enables a dramatic increase in production capabilities. This includes new flatbed printers, laser engravers, screen printing and RFID programming capabilities.

More production capacity, and more options to customise popular equipment safety solutions enable Scafftag to optimally respond to the needs of a growing number of customers. Simply branding an insert and holder with your logo and running your company colours throughout make it notable on site that the equipment is yours.
