Hansson Pyrotec is a renowned Swedish brand that has been dedicated to enhancing safety at sea since 1888. Founded by Carl Robert Hansson, the company initially focused on producing fireworks before expanding to become a trusted manufacturer of ship's distress signals, such as blue lights, in the 1890s. Over the years, Hansson Pyrotec has developed an extensive product range, including parachute rockets, signal guns, and lifebuoy lights, becoming a go-to source for all types of emergency signals on the market.

One pivotal event that spurred the international focus on marine safety was the tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912. In response to this disaster, the first international conference on maritime safety was held in London, resulting in the creation of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. Since then, Hansson Pyrotec has continually lived up to its commitment to keeping people safe at sea.

With the launch of the groundbreaking Ikaros rocket signal in 1959, Hansson Pyrotec solidified its position as the world's leading manufacturer of pyrotechnic distress equipment for marine use. Today, the entire brand and product line bear the name Ikaros, representing excellence and innovation in distress signals for both ships and leisure boats. Hansson Pyrotec distributes its products globally through a network of distributors and retailers, ensuring that its world-class pyrotechnic distress signals are easily accessible to those who seek reliable marine safety solutions.
