The move enhances Ideagen's portfolio of environmental, health, safety and quality (EHSQ) solutions while reinforcing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Speaking about the acquisition, Ideagen CEO, Ben Dorks, said: 'Lone workers are often the most vulnerable of any workforce, either because they are going into unpredictable environments or because it's difficult to alert help if they get into difficulty.
'Organizations have a duty to protect their people, but this is a challenge when the nature of their work takes them into situations they can't control. For industries like health and social care, agriculture or construction, this is a daily occurrence.
'The addition of WorkSafe Guardian to our portfolio demonstrates our commitment to investing in powerful safety solutions that help businesses protect their staff and operations and address a growing segment of worker safety concern.'
With more than 15% of the global workforce estimated to be classified as a lone worker (source: National Safety Council), the need for innovative safety systems to protect this workforce has never been greater.
Greg Lindner, Co-founder and Director of WorkSafe Guardian, said: 'Joining Ideagen represents an important milestone for WorkSafe Guardian. It provides us with an incredible opportunity to bring our innovative solutions to a much broader global audience, while also enabling us to offer our customers an expanded portfolio of tools and resources to address their compliance needs.
'We're excited to combine our expertise with Ideagen's global network and industry-leading solutions, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value and support to our clients.'
WorkSafe Guardian advanced lone-worker safety solution offers an app-based service that provides 24/7 monitoring, real-time emergency response and reporting features. By combining their industry expertise with Ideagen's global reach and innovative EHS platform, this acquisition will streamline safety management processes and reduce risks for businesses.
The acquisition aligns with Ideagen's broader mission to empower organizations with cutting-edge software to enhance operational excellence and drive compliance in risk-heavy environments.
From healthcare professionals working alone on home visits to field workers in utilities and construction, the Ideagen WorkSafe Guardian suite will deliver integrated tools designed to safeguard team members wherever their responsibilities take them.
This is Ideagen's fifth acquisition of 2025 and underscores Ideagen's commitment to building a robust suite of solutions existing within its Asia-Pacific footprint, which already includes Beakon (acquired earlier in 2025), Ideagen Damstra (January 2024), Ideagen Plant Assessor (January 2024), Ideagen OpCentral (November 2023), Ideagen Lucidity (October 2023), Ideagen OnePlace Solutions (May 2023) and Ideagen CompliSpace (December 2021).

Expro Marks Major Milestone in International Expansion with First Fully Remote Five-Plug Cementing Operation in Saudi Arabia
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 11, 2025-- Expro (NYSE:XPRO), a global energy services provider, has successfully delivered the world's first fully remote five-plug cementing operation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, safety, and international growth within the well construction sector. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Cement Technologies The milestone operation - executed using Expro's Generation-X™ Remote Plug Launcher (RPL) and proprietary SkyHook™ cement-line make-up device - marks a major step forward in the company's expansion into the Middle East. The fully automated solution enabled a complex, multi-stage cement job to be completed with zero red-zone entry or man-riding operations, setting a new industry benchmark for personnel safety and operational control. This breakthrough builds on Expro's first successful cementing job in the Kingdom, delivered in January. That initial operation laid the foundation for a rapid regional ramp-up, culminating in May's delivery of the five-plug job. Together, these achievements reflect a deliberate progression from strategic market entry to innovation leadership, demonstrating the proven scalability and reliability of Expro's cementing technologies in one of the world's most technically demanding operating environments. Jeremy Angelle, Vice President of Well Construction at Expro, said: 'Our entry into Saudi Arabia is more than just geographic expansion - it's about transforming cementing operations through advanced engineering. This breakthrough showcases our Generation-X and SkyHook technologies as world-class innovations that drive measurable safety and efficiency gains.' The complex five-plug stage-cementing operation was executed for a challenging 9-5/8' casing run in a high-pressure gas well - the longest of its kind in the field. Utilizing Expro's modular Generation-X™ RPL, all of the five downhole components were pre-loaded in a controlled shop environment and then remotely launched at the well site with precision. Expro's modular cement head allowed the operator to eliminate high-risk tasks at the rig site, significantly reducing rig time, and enhancing the overall well integrity through optimized cement placement and effective zonal isolation. Building on this momentum, additional deployments across the region have further validated the benefits of Expro's remote and wireless cementing technologies. In one case, the customer was able to displace cement through the top drive at up to 13 bpm, resulting in cleaner wellbores, faster transitions from casing to cementing, and reduced static wellbore time. Collectively, these case studies demonstrate how Expro's solutions enhance operational integrity and redefine safety standards, particularly in markets where reliability, repeatability, and HSE performance are critical. 'Both the Generation-X™ launcher and SkyHook™ system were designed with safety, control, and field adaptability in mind,' added Angelle. 'To see them deliver such strong results in a new region is a proud moment, and a signal of what's possible as we grow our well construction capabilities globally.' Expro continues to invest in expanding its presence in the Kingdom and beyond, with a clear focus on aligning with customer goals in the oil, gas, and geothermal markets. With proven success in Saudi Arabia and strong customer interest across the region, we believe that Expro's cementing product line is now well positioned for international adoption, bringing automation, safety, and cost efficiency to the forefront of well construction operations globally. Notes to Editors Working for clients across the well life cycle, Expro is a leading provider of energy services, offering cost-effective, innovative solutions and what the Company considers to be best-in-class safety and service quality. The Company's extensive portfolio of capabilities spans well construction, well flow management, subsea well access, and well intervention and integrity solutions.
