The agreements have so far resulted in orders for 360 systems, which have been booked in 2007 from COOP Fakta, Dansk Supermarked and Statoil. Including service contracts the orders are worth a total of around 45 million kronor. Gunnebo is currently the leading company on the Danish market for closed and recirculated cash handling systems and the Group is engaged in discussions with several retail chains in the country.

"We've carried out a thorough evaluation of the system over the past three years and there hasn't been a single robbery in any of the stores where it is installed," says John Ravn, senior controller and head of security at Fakta "This means greater security for our employees - and for our customers. We aim to have SafePay installed in all our stores within five years. SafePay is at present the only system that meets our specifications for a closed system," says John Ravn, "if a cash handling system is to be reliable we need to be sure there are no weak links in the chain"

All these retail chains have previously evaluated the SafePay system with good results. During this evaluation process SafePay's features, including the emptying unit, have been further developed in cooperation with all three customers.

"SafePay offers several advantages for small stores as well, and it is pleasing that none of the stores with SafePay have been the victim of an attempted robbery," says Göran Gezelius, Gunnebo's president and CEO. "Together with the fact that the cashier does not need to touch the coins (thus avoiding nickel allergy), this is also important for the work environment"
