Germany’s i.safe MOBILE, one of the world’s most innovative developers of mobile communication devices and solutions for use in hazardous areas, has continued its global expansion course by founding the Russian subsidiary i.safe MOBILE CIS LLC. After the company established a branch office in Singapore for the Asia-Pacific region in the previous year, i.safe MOBILE is now also focusing more strongly on the Russian Federation/CIS market with the new branch office in Moscow.

The majority of i.safe MOBILE devices have already received EAC certification for use in hazardous areas and meet the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union and Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). For the mining sector, which is particularly strong in the Russian Federation, special M1 mining-certified devices such as the IS530.M1 smartphone and the IS930.M1 tablet are available to customers.

“The foundation of our new subsidiary in Moscow underlines our global expansion course. Especially in an enormous growth market like the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), it is important to have a local presence and to further establish our position as a globally innovative developer in the field of explosion-proof mobile devices,” says Martin Haaf, CEO of i.safe MOBILE.

Julia Kostikova, who has been managing the new branch in Moscow since May 2021, comments: “I am pleased to be able to expand the company’s presence in the CIS market. With my experience in the explosion-proof mobile communication I will serve our customers through in-country sales, technical expertise and aftersales support.” i.safe MOBILE is headquartered in Germany (Lauda-Koenigshofen) and is now present worldwide with a branch office in Singapore and Moscow, as well as through sales partners in 72 other countries.
