Safe Life makes its fifth French acquisition, adds Nantes-based D+ Services
Stockholm, Sweden – March 20, 2026 – Safe Life, a leading global provider of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and related services and trainings, announces the acquisition of Nantes, France-based D+ Services (https://dplus-services.fr/). D+ has a strong position in sales and service of public access AEDs, including subscriptions, and in addition it markets the innovative and proven Elide fire extinguishing ball to the French market. Over the past 15 years, D+ has built an impressive customer base and track record by leaning on experience, innovation, customer service and ease of doing business.
Safe Life acquires D+ Services from Scybl Group, which now will focus even more on its core activities within health, safety and clean environments. D+ will continue its current operations, while gaining accessing Safe Life’s broad array of AED- and CPR-focused resources including close collaboration with Safe Life’s other entities in France.
“D+ Services is an excellent addition to Safe Life’s market strength in France,” says Jimmy Eriksson, CEO of Safe Life. “Their local presence in Nantes, and the well-developed service and maintenance in the West and across the entire country, is a great complement to the activities we have. France is a front-runner in AED deployment in Europe, and we see tremendous potential to further build on that development. In welcoming the D+ team we reaffirm that conviction. I thoroughly look forward to seeing the team flourish.”
Yann Lardeux, SCYBL director and D+ Services President, comments:
"In 2009, D+ Services was founded, in response to market demand, as an AED-focused complementary business to Codis’ hygiene and safety equipment business. Through innovative go-to-market approaches and an unwavering spirit, the business has since then developed incredibly well. I am truly humbled by what the team has achieved. There is no doubt in my mind that Safe Life at this point offers the best possible AED market expertise and resources for D+ to take the next upward steps on its journey."
The acquisition is part of Safe Life’s ambitious global growth strategy. With increasing demand for AEDs and public safety equipment, Safe Life continues to pursue strategic opportunities to expand its reach and impact.
