The company eventually gained new shareholders, was renamed BARTEC Barlian (Pty) Ltd and was appointed BARTEC GmbH’s main distributor in South Africa. A decision was taken by BARTEC GmbH’s Board of Directors to re-invest in South Africa and consequently, in July 2005, the company was fully acquired by BARTEC GmbH and was renamed BARTEC Safety (Pty) Ltd and today trades under this name as well as that of BARTEC .
