COMET is delighted to announce a pivotal channel partnership with RIMS, a leading safety consultancy firm based in South Korea, in collaboration with LRQA. This partnership signifies a major milestone for COMET, expanding its global presence to offer innovative safety solutions to critical industries within South Korea and beyond.
Previously known as STC INSISO, COMET is a UK-based specialist renowned for its comprehensive range of software and services aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by high-risk industries such as energy, construction, maritime, rail, utilities, and others. With expertise in incident investigation, root cause analysis, supply chain assurance, and regulatory compliance, COMET stands as a leader in risk intelligence technology.
By merging COMET’s cutting-edge risk intelligence technology with RIMS’s extensive expertise in safety consultancy, the partnership seeks to establish a new benchmark in incident prevention in South Korea. This collaboration will enable South Korean businesses across various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, chemical, and energy, to access the full suite of COMET technologies and related service offerings.
COMET was particularly attracted to the South Korean market due to its vibrant industrial landscape and the country’s keen interest in innovative Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) technology. “We are thrilled to partner with RIMS to bring COMET to South Korea,” stated Mark Rushton, CEO of COMET. “This collaboration represents our commitment to supporting organisations in South Korea in their journey towards achieving and maintaining the highest standards of safety performance.”
As part of this partnership, COMET and RIMS are collaborating to provide top-tier training to leading operators in a variety of major accident hazard (MAH) industries. RIMS has invested in becoming ‘COMET Accredited’ to assist their clients in better understanding and mitigating their safety risks, thereby fostering consistently safer working environments.
“We are excited to join forces with COMET to bring world-class risk management solutions to South Korea,” expressed Jeong Wu Lee, Research Director of RIMS. “Together, we are committed to driving positive change in risk management practices and helping organisations in South Korea achieve their safety objectives.”
To solidify this partnership, COMET’s CEO Mark Rushton and Head of Operations Craig Smith recently visited Seoul to meet with RIMS and finalise negotiations. This visit was supported by Innovate UK and the British Embassy.
COMET’s presence in South Korea continues to grow. Last month, as part of Innovate UK’s Global Business Innovation Programme for Advanced Manufacturing, COMET’s CTO, Arrash Nekonam, had the opportunity to present COMET’s solutions at the British Embassy in Seoul, network with top manufacturing companies in Daegu, and speak at the prestigious SMART TECH KOREA conference. His presentations highlighted how COMET’s AI-driven solutions are designed to address significant manufacturing challenges, including tackling $10 billion in annual quality control losses.
COMET looks forward to a successful partnership with RIMS and continued growth in the South Korean market.
