HIMA Group, the global safety automation expert, is setting new benchmarks for functional safety in the offshore industry. At SPE Offshore Europe 2025 in Aberdeen, HIMA will present its expanded solutions portfolio for the first time.

The energy sector is evolving rapidly – from oil and gas to offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon storage. Wherever the journey leads, HIMA delivers solutions that ensure safety, security, and efficiency across the entire energy mix. With Sella Controls and Origo Solutions, both part of the HIMA Group, operators and contractors in the European Offshore industry benefit from unique synergies and a broadened portfolio that covers the safety automation related value chain.

Jörg de la Motte, CEO of the HIMA Group, says: "We are delighted to present our enhanced solutions portfolio for the first time. The integration of Sella Controls and Origo Solutions proves the power of combined expertise and delivers added value to our offshore customers in the UK, in Norway, and in Continental Europe.”

HIMA pursues a clear digitalization strategy under the motto #safetygoesdigital, providing an in-depth insight into the latest technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of safety automation.

At the heart of HIMA’s offering is its independent open safety platform, including safety systems certified by TÜV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas and DNV. The platform combines hardware and software on a single technology platform and offers a uniform security concept. This results in solutions that ensure functional safety and OT security, compliance with standards, process efficiency and plant availability.
