With over 40 years in the industry, MacKay also founded Uni-Hoist and Fall Soft as well as served the confined space fall protection market.
Safehold CEO Oliver Auston said: "We will raise a glass or two of the finest Scottish Whiskey to pay tribute to our dear friend George and to mark the reboot of this journey. Expanding our North American product offering particularly in the specialist anchors category and in confined space access is a key strategic priority of us.
George’s energy and passion will live on, of that there is no doubt!"
All products will continue to be manufactured and distributed via existing domestic partners in the US and Canada. MacKay’s daughter Lorraine will remain with Safehold as a consultant product specialist and will support the transition.
