SAFE was founded in 1975 with its headquarters near the city of Bologna. It started out dealing with hydraulic systems for the production of plastic moulded products for foundries, the scrapping of presses and other applications. In 1979 it produced its first hydraulic compressor for the compressed natural gas (CNG) market in New Zealand. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

The first mechanical compressor, was built in 1988, allowing the company to enter the new European and South American markets. A few years later, in 1992, the first “Oil and Gas” package was produced. During that same year, the first MRU (Mobile Refuelling Unit) - designed and assembled entirely in-house by SAFE - was produced.

The Technical Department continued working on new models of mechanical compressors and, at the same time, the new Biomethane Business Unit was established. In the meanwhile, the compressed natural gas market was also expanding in Asia and North Africa. During the early 2000s, record growth was recorded in Pakistan and Bangladesh where, between 2007 and 2008, SAFE recorded a production peak of 7/8 systems per week. This growth laid the foundations for the move to new premises that would host the first mobile station in 2008 and in 2010 the first biogas plant.

In 2011 the new headquarters was opened in Via Lamborghini in San Giovanni in Persiceto, with large structured spaces to accommodate high production volumes of CNG and “Oil and Gas” applications. This expansion soon also involved the organisational structure, and during 2012 SAFE became part of the LandiRenzo Group. Together with this renowned Group, it continued to pursue the philosophy of clean energy, implemented with respect for the individual and the environment. It also expanded its product portfolio as well as its commercial offering by entering the Russian market and thereby becoming an international player in the compression business. Five years later, LandiRenzo signed an agreement with US company Clean Energy Fuels, creating a partnership destined to become a world leader in the compressor business with operational headquarters in Italy.

The upward journey continues, under the banner of renewable energies and increasingly consolidating in foreign markets. SAFE’s driving force still lies in providing natural gas and safe applications to make a difference in people’s daily lives. In a not so distant future, the ongoing research and development of new technologies will arrive at a new source: hydrogen.
