History
An Example of scaffolding around the Lantern Tower in La Rochelle

The company was started in 1919 and is headquartered in Georgia. Over the years the company expanded to other countries.[5][4] The company has provided safety equipment on construction sites.[6] In 2017 the company began to focus on safety equipment which would be needed to improve infrastructure. Bridges and other Infrastructure has begun to age in North America and BrandSafway began to focus on supplying the safety equipment which will be needed.[7] In 2019 the company had over 38,000 employees.[8] Brookfield Business Partners bought 45% of the company in September 2019. BrandSafway was valued at $6.7 billion at the time of the purchase.[9] In January 2020, BrandSafway announced the purchase of AGF Access Group.[10]

The company is often contracted to provide safety equipment for complicated jobs. Recently they provided scaffolding for the 120 year old Milwaukee City Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Old Cathedral in St. Louis, Missouri.[11] In December 2019 the company was hired to provide safety equipment and scaffolding for work on the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.[12]
