BeaverFit has announced the acquisition of Bastion, a UK-based specialist in physical security systems.

This acquisition is said to further strengthen BeaverFit’s defence and security offerings, allowing the company to integrate Bastion’s modular walling systems into a broader suite of deployable infrastructure and force protection solutions.

Physical security: Combining forces

Tom Beaver, Managing Director and Founder, BeaverFit UK said: “We’ve long admired Bastion’s expertise in physical security and are thrilled to welcome them into the BeaverFit group.

“This partnership allows us to combine forces and deliver even greater value to clients needing scalable, modular protection in mission-critical environments.”

Pioneering solutions

Founded in the late 1970s, Bastion has reportedly pioneered solutions designed to mitigate threats such as forced entry, ballistic impact, blast effects and surreptitious attack.

Their newest innovation, the Multi-Threat modular room and walling system, is reportedly the first of its kind to allow on-site upgrades in response to evolving threat levels.

The system features full LPS 1175: Issue 8 certifications from D5 to G5, a fire integrity rating at 120 minutes and a recyclable, bolt-together assembly for easy deployment and relocation.

“Next-generation solutions”

Beaver highlighted: “In an increasingly uncertain world, where defence and national security issues are prominent, key suppliers need scalable capabilities to develop and deliver next-generation solutions.”

Bastion’s product range and expertise will become part of BeaverFit’s Security Division, expanding the company’s ability to deliver modular solutions that support real-world operational requirements.

Beaver finalised: “Bastion and BeaverFit have complementary assets and skills; and together, we have a huge opportunity to become a leader in innovative, rapidly deployable, highly protected workspace, in the UK and elsewhere.”
