New offices in Cologne and Abu Dhabi strengthen EMEA presence as company showcases connected safety innovations at A+A and ADIPEC 2025
Calgary, Canada, November 3, 2025 — Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, has announced plans to open two new international offices — one in Cologne, Germany, and another in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The expansion strengthens Blackline’s operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), bringing the company closer to its rapidly-growing customer base in these regions.
Blackline’s Cologne office adds to its established network in the U.K. and France, providing localized presence and coordination for regional sales, service, and customer engagement across Europe and Africa. The Abu Dhabi office will enhance engagement with customers in the energy, utilities, and petrochemical sectors, providing localized training and service. The new facility builds on Blackline’s growing presence in the Middle East, following a multi-year purchase agreement with ADNOC.
“We’re excited to bring Blackline’s global operations even closer to our customers across Europe and the Middle East,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair of Blackline Safety. “Opening regional offices in Cologne and Abu Dhabi strengthens our local service and support capabilities and positions us to better partner with global enterprise customers.”
The expansion coincides with Blackline Safety’s 10th consecutive year exhibiting at ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, UAE (November 3–6, Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Hall 2 – Stand 2460), and its participation in A+A 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany (November 4–7, Hall 4 – Stand F06) — two leading global trade events for safety and energy professionals.
At both events, Blackline will showcase major updates to its cloud-based safety platform, which were recently unveiled at the NSC 2025 Safety Congress & Expo — including ZoneAware Geofencing, an upgraded Loner Mobile app, improved gas sensor visibility, and new bulk management automation tools. Together, these advancements give safety and operations teams deeper situational awareness, simplify program management, strengthen compliance and efficiency, and extend protection to more workers across their operations.
