Facade Access Solutions (FAS), part of Alimak Group, is pleased to welcome Pro-Bel following Alimak Group’s agreement to acquire the Canadian provider of suspended access and fall protection solutions.
The acquisition represents an important milestone in the Group’s New Heights strategy, strengthening the Facade Access division’s position in North America and expanding its portfolio of working-at-height solutions. By bringing together two respected companies with complementary capabilities, the transaction creates a stronger platform to support customers across the building lifecycle while accelerating future growth.
Founded in 1976 and headquartered near Toronto, Canada, Pro-Bel has nearly 50 years of experience delivering suspended access and fall protection solutions throughout Canada and the United States. The company employs more than 140 people and has built a strong reputation for engineering expertise, product quality and customer service.
Its portfolio includes roof anchors, davit arms, horizontal lifelines, monorail systems and Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) solutions. Following completion of the transaction, Pro-Bel will become part of the Facade Access division, enhancing its ability to serve customers across low-, mid- and high-rise building applications while expanding its equipment and service capabilities throughout North America.
The combination brings together two organisations that share a commitment to safety, innovation, technical excellence and long-term customer relationships.
Together, Facade Access Solutions and Pro-Bel will offer customers a broader range of solutions, deeper engineering expertise and an expanded service footprint. The acquisition also supports the division’s ambition to further balance its equipment and service businesses while strengthening its leadership position in one of the world’s most important facade access markets.
As buildings become more complex and demands for safe access continue to evolve, the combined organisation will be better positioned to deliver integrated solutions that address a wider range of customer needs.
“Pro-Bel is more than a strategic addition to our business. It is a partnership built on shared values, complementary expertise and a common commitment to delivering exceptional solutions for our customers,” said Hervé Ros, Executive Vice President, Facade Access Solutions, Alimak Group. “Together, we are strengthening our equipment and service offering across North America while creating new opportunities to innovate, grow and support customers with an even broader range of facade access solutions.”
The acquisition further supports Alimak Group’s New Heights strategy by strengthening its North American presence, broadening its offering and increasing exposure to attractive, resilient end markets.
“Pro-Bel is a strong strategic fit for Alimak Group and supports our strategy to further diversify the business and increase resilience,” said Ole Kristian Jødahl, President and CEO of Alimak Group. “The acquisition strengthens our position in North America, expands our offering and adds a highly profitable business with a proven track record of maintaining high profitability over time. Together, we will be even better positioned to create value for customers and continue delivering profitable growth for our owners.”
For the latest twelve-month period ending April 2026, Pro-Bel generated MCAD 69 in revenue and MCAD 24 in adjusted EBITA, representing an adjusted EBITA margin of 34.6%.
In addition to its strong financial performance, Pro-Bel brings valuable engineering capabilities, recognised market expertise and a well-established customer base. The transaction is expected to strengthen both the Facade Access division and Alimak Group while creating opportunities to expand the combined product offering, share best practices and support long-term profitable growth.
As part of the integration process, Marc Lebel, Founder and CEO of Pro-Bel, will remain with the business during a transition period to support continuity, customer relationships and knowledge transfer.
“We are pleased to join Alimak Group and become part of a global leader in access and safety solutions,” said Marc Lebel, CEO of Pro-Bel. “Alimak Group shares our long-term perspective, customer focus and commitment to quality and safety.”
This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both organisations. By combining complementary capabilities while preserving Pro-Bel’s respected brand and customer-focused approach, the business will be better equipped to support customers across North America and beyond.
Together, Facade Access Solutions and Pro-Bel will continue building on their shared strengths to deliver innovative suspended access and fall protection solutions, support customers’ evolving needs and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.
