Customers are welcoming the increased benefits they’re experiencing as MSA Safety and MSA Bacharach mark the second anniversary of the Bacharach acquisition. From enhanced customer service integration, insourced production, reduction in lead times, and engaged MSA Sales Channels to provide better customer support on a global scale, customers are seeing the value with these two gas detection leaders together as one.

Since the July 2021 acquisition, the company is serving a broader range of markets with MSA Safety’s and MSA Bacharach’s industry-leading gas detection measurement and monitoring tools. Together, this advances a joint mission focused on workplace safety.

“MSA is focused on providing innovative, quality safety products and technology solutions while improving operational efficiencies,” said Aaron Tufts, Chief Operating Officer of MSA Bacharach. “By integrating all Bacharach locations into the MSA Safety sales system, this has allowed for more direct customer communication and feedback. Additionally, by insourcing most of the production, including manufacturing, we’ve been able to reduce lead times.”

Within the past two years, the company has moved production in Ireland from Bacharach Dublin to more extensive MSA facilities in Galway, which has improved production output for the EMEA region and beyond. This has provided increased stock capacity to better serve the growing need for industry-leading refrigerant gas detection in the HVAC-R industry.

“Our plan is to have an improved stock program for all products, resulting in one-week delivery for our customers,” Tufts said. “At MSA, we are proud of our mission to help protect people at work, and we would like to express our sincere appreciation for our customers’ continued support and dedication to safeguarding people, places, and the planet.”
