This year marks 20 years of innovation, trust and shared purpose between Baldwin Boxall and France’s Archean Technologies – a partnership that continues to shape the future of life safety communications across borders.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Technical Excellence
From the start, Baldwin Boxall and Archean Technologies have shared a vision: to deliver robust, reliable and intuitive Voice Alarm and Emergency Voice Communication systems that save lives and support critical infrastructure.
One of the most significant outcomes of this partnership is Baldwin Boxall’s contribution to France’s airports, railway and Metro networks. Today, vital equipment manufactured in the UK is safeguarding passengers and personnel across the country’s major transport systems, a testament to the strength and success of this Anglo-French alliance.
“Our partnership with Archean has always been about more than distribution,” says Nick Baldwin, Sales and Marketing Director of Baldwin Boxall. “It’s about shared values – quality, service, trust – and a deep understanding of what our clients need, especially in mission-critical environments like transport.”
A Moment of Celebration – and Reflection
To mark the 20-year anniversary, Nick Baldwin, Jason Allen and Bob Schulz from Baldwin Boxall made a special journey to France to visit Archean Technologies at their headquarters. The highlight of the visit was the presentation of a bespoke commemorative plaque – a symbol of appreciation, friendship and continued collaboration.
“Presenting the plaque in person felt incredibly meaningful,” says Nick Baldwin. “We wanted to show just how much we value this relationship – not just as business partners, but as people who’ve shared a journey for two decades.”
The meeting was not only a celebration but also a reaffirmation of the mutual respect and ongoing strategic alignment that has driven the partnership’s success.Â
“It was a proud moment for our team,” said Xavier Aumont, CEO from Archean Technologies. “This partnership has always felt personal, professional and productive. Seeing it recognised in such a way really means a lot.”Â
Stronger Than Ever – and Looking Ahead
As they move into their third decade together, Baldwin Boxall and Archean Technologies remain focused on supporting the needs of the French market with cutting-edge voice alarm systems, EN54 certified solutions and unwavering technical support.Â
“The Anglo-French accord is as strong as ever,” Nick affirms. “It’s a relationship built on rock-solid foundations and we’re excited about what the future holds.”
From the platforms of Paris to the tunnels of Marseille, the mark of this partnership can be seen – and heard – wherever safety matters most.
Here’s to the Next Chapter
With gratitude for the past and excitement for the future, we raise a glass to 20 years of excellence, trust and collaboration. Our sincere thanks to the team at Archean Technologies for their dedication, expertise and continuing cooperation.
