Ikaros

Founded in 1888 by Carl Robert Hansson in Gothenburg, Ikaros has a long history of enhancing safety at sea. Initially focused on fireworks, the company quickly became known for its reliable ship distress signals. The tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912 spurred international safety regulations, leading to the development of the SOLAS standards. Ikaros revolutionized the market with the introduction of the Ikaros rocket signal in 1959, establishing itself as a leading manufacturer of pyrotechnic distress signals for both commercial and leisure marine industries. Today, Ikaros offers a comprehensive range of SOLAS-approved products, ensuring safety for all maritime activities. The company is committed to providing high-quality, reliable emergency signals that are easy to use and understand, making them essential for leisure boat safety.
