Highway Care acquired by Ramudden Global

Highway Care has been acquired by Swedish outfit Ramudden Global for an undisclosed fee.

Highway Care said the move would strengthen its 'ability to expand product development and further innovate within the road safety and security sectors'.

Ramudden Global is a network of companies operating in 12 countries, employing over 4,500 people with a turnover in 2023 of €750m (the equivalent of £624m today).

Highway Care’s interim managing director, Steve Billot, said: 'With a legacy of industry-leading innovations and technology-driven solutions, this partnership gives us access to greater resources, fuelling growth while preserving our entrepreneurial spirit.

'The strong leadership in place will ensure that Highway Care continues to drive innovation and customer success, while new ownership will help propel new product development and growth.'

Lisa Laronde, the chief transformation officer for Ramudden Global, said: 'We are dedicated to building on Highway Care’s proven ability to drive industry innovation.

'With our collective expertise and vision, we are ready to take this success international, delivering smarter, more efficient road safety solutions that will make a global impact.'

Known for pioneering safety technologies, Highway Care has been operating for nearly 50 years, offering a broad range of products including permanent and temporary road barriers, mobile traffic products, automation systems, and security solutions.
