BALCO GLOBAL LTD

Balco-Global is a manufacturing company producing products for behavioural health environments with a simple mission in mind: aiding recovery through safer spaces.

In behavioural health settings, challenges such as ligature risk, weapons risk, arson, and self-harm are critical concerns. These environments require specialised solutions to ensure the safety and well-being of both patients and staff. At Balco-Global, we are committed to addressing these risks head-on. Through continuous innovation, rigorous development, and advanced manufacturing processes, we create products that actively reduce and help manage these risks. Our goal is to enhance safety while maintaining a sense of comfort.

We believe that behavioural health environments should be as non-institutional as possible, fostering healing and recovery in spaces that feel welcoming, homely, and therapeutic. By integrating thoughtful design with cutting-edge safety features, our products contribute to creating environments that promote well-being and support the recovery process.

At Balco-Global, our commitment to safety, innovation, and compassionate care drives everything we do. We are proud to be a trusted partner in helping healthcare facilities create safer, more healing-focused spaces that empower individuals on their journey to recovery.

What Clients Say

We introduced the SoftBoxes to our newly refurbished anti-ligature wardrobes and they have provided a solution to allow the Service User to safely keep items tidy in their rooms as well as adding colour and being an interesting feature.

In mental healthcare one of the biggest areas of risks within patient bedrooms is the bathroom door and it's hinges. It was great when we discovered softdoor, it reduced ligature risks in this area to a minimum, whilst till being able to maintain privacy and dignity. We liked the ease at which they could be installed, the simplicity of design.

The SoftDoor has provided an excellent anti-ligature solution to our ensuites, and the ability to add images on the SoftDoor has also allowed the introduction of artwork into the bedrooms, adding to the ambiance of the environment.

We loved the fact you could use an image on the door, it helped brighten up the room. We started installing them in our higher secure wards, however have started rolling them out across the whole site as they seem to suit all environments. I would highly recommend them for any environment, they are durable but with a soft touch
