Pro4all grows with SafetyFirst acquisition

The Hague, 11 February 2025 – Today Pro4all has acquired the Dutch Quality, Health, Safety & Environment (QHSE) software provider SafetyFirst. SafetyFirst serves over 200.000 professionals across more than 150 companies and specializes in safety management solutions for the construction and real estate industry. This acquisition marks the fourth add-on for Pro4all in less than three years as a Main Capital Partners (Main) portfolio company.

SafetyFirst was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Weesp, the Netherlands. With its Quality, Health, Safety & Environment (QHSE) software, the construction industry and several other industries can manage safety processes digitally, map risks, and more easily follow safety regulation.

Thanks to its specialization in safety management, SafetyFirst’s product offering is highly complementary to Pro4all’s current quality management solutions. When combined, the software suite covers a large part of the construction and facility management process, empowering professionals in areas from quality assurance and safety management to document sharing and collaboration.

Arne Diegenbach, SafetyFirst CEO: “Both strategically and culturally, there is a very strong fit between SafetyFirst and Pro4all. We believe Pro4all’s international customer base can really benefit from our safety management products. We look forward to the collaboration and to accelerate our growth, both domestically and abroad.”

Dick van der Woude, Pro4all CEO: “Together, SafetyFirst and Pro4all share an ambition to grow internationally and become the leading construction and real estate software provider in Northwestern Europe. Our partnership sets us on a path to achieve this ambition and, most importantly, to deliver a better and more complete software suite to all our customers. We believe that we can jointly bring SafetyFirst’s safety management solutions to our international customer base across Benelux, DACH and the Nordics.”

Sjoerd Aarts, Managing Partner Benelux at Main Capital Partners and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Pro4all: “We are proud to support Pro4all in its ambitious journey to build a leading European software provider for the construction and real estate industries. This fourth acquisition since joining the Main portfolio of companies marks another strong step in our buy-and-build strategy. We are committed to partnering with innovative and driven entrepreneurs to create value for customers through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, and the new partnership with SafetyFirst fits in perfectly.”
