The Brand

 To better reflect our business and mission we have changed our company name from Unfors Instruments to Unfors RaySafe and our logo to that of a canary, as of March 21, 2012. Just like our products and services, the new name, Unfors RaySafe, is simple, straight-forward and easy to understand.

The name better reflects the business of the company. Unfors RaySafe helps people to avoid unnecessary radiation.

The new logo is a yellow canary-bird. The inspiration behind the new logo is the story of the ”canary in the coal mine.”

In the early days, miners would bring canary birds into the coal mine. As long as the canary kept singing, the air was safe. When it stopped, it served as an early warning that it was time to leave the mine.

The canary-bird was therefore the perfect symbol for Unfors RaySafe. It keeps you safe from possible health threats undetectable by the human senses.

We care for the environment

As part of a joint project with the U&We, we are helping small-scale farming families in Nicaragua to reforest underutilized portions of their land. Through better land-use management and more sustainable use of forest resources, the project increases the forest cover of the nearby watershed and improves the quality of life of San Juan de Limay residents in Nicaragua. The climate compensation service is called ZeroMission and we support the Taking Root’s Limay Community Carbon Project (see certificate).

We take our social/environmental responsibility very serious. With this project we aim to climate offset the environmental impact of CO2 emission from the air travel of our staff and from our goods transportation to and from our manufacturing site in Billdal Sweden.

In 2012 the total CO2 emission of our company was around 240 ton (90 ton air flights, 150 ton from transportation) and the total offset achieved was double the amount, namely 480 ton (factor 2).
