Bliksund is expanding its European footprint with a local presence in France, marking a new chapter in the company’s international growth.
Bliksund, a leading provider of digital tools for emergency services, is strengthening its European footprint by establishing a local presence in France. As part of this strategic move, Bliksund has hired its first local commercial resource to lead market activities and build strong relationships with French emergency services.
“We are excited to take this important step in our European growth journey.” France has a strong focus on digitalisation in emergency and prehospital care, and we believe our proven solutions can contribute to even more efficient and safer operations.” said Janne T. Morstøl CEO of Bliksund.
Bliksund has built a strong presence in the Nordics and expanded into the Netherlands last year through the acquisition of Moditech, the provider of the world’s most advanced Crash Recovery System. In recent years, the company has also entered the UK and DACH regions, offering mission-critical digital tools that support emergency response teams with real-time video, electronic patient care reporting systems, and operational management solutions. Bliksund serves over 3,000 customers across 30 countries.
One example is the Brussels-Capital Department for Fire Fighting and Urgent Medical Assistance, which has integrated Bliksund’s video solution into its 112 emergency response system; enabling responders to receive live video from callers and communicate through automatically translated chat. With its expansion into France, Bliksund aims to adapt its solutions to local needs while leveraging best practices from other European markets.
The newly appointed French commercial representative, Mr Alban Hoingnet, will be responsible for developing partnerships, supporting customer needs, and build on Bliksund’s presence in France with the Crash Recovery System.
“I am excited to join Bliksund and introduce our proven solutions to the French market. There is a clear demand for digital innovation in emergency services, and I believe Bliksund’s solutions can make a real difference for first responders and the people they serve. I look forward to working closely with emergency personnel across France.”, says Alban Hoingnet, Sales Executive, Bliksund
This marks an important milestone in Bliksund’s journey toward establishing itself as the leading European provider of digital tools for emergency professionals.
