Rath is also well positioned to benefit from Halma’s strategic Growth Enablers, bringing the potential for collaboration with other Halma businesses in elevator safety and healthcare to drive expansion into adjacent markets focused on the care and safety of the elderly and disabled people. We look forward to working with Rath’s management team and continuing its strong track record of growth.”
