Medical products company picks Charlotte area for its HQ, bringing 100 new jobs.

Roughly 100 new jobs and free emergency medical training classes are coming to the Charlotte area in the next year.

Safeguard Medical, an emergency medical product and training company, is bringing its global headquarters to Huntersville.

The company, formed in February 2020, owns emergency medical brands including Combat Medical, Prometheus Medical, Simbodies and PerSys Medical. Combat Medical, based out of Harrisburg, first brought Safeguard’s attention to the Charlotte area, CEO Adam Johnson told the Observer.

Safeguard has already broken ground on a 160,000-sqaure-foot facility in Huntersville. Construction is scheduled to be complete by April or May, Johnson said.

The Huntersville headquarters, at 13359 Reese Blvd., will mark the fist time the company will consolidate its locations into a single global headquarters.
