Background:
Two brothers who moved to the UK for their studies are taking workplace safety to the next level with a cutting-edge wearable designed to combat Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS).
Andrei and Vlad Feraru, founders of Feraru Dynamics, are aiming for £8 million in global sales of their HAV-Sentry system by 2030, following strong interest from construction, manufacturing, landscaping, and utility companies.
The HAV-Sentry glove is built with antibacterial, breathable fabric and embedded sensors. It tracks vibration exposure in real time and uses AI-powered analytics to guide companies in implementing effective safety measures.
More than 30 companies across five continents have already adopted the solution, generating millions in revenue and creating twelve new technical and commercial roles.
“HAV-Sentry has been a labour of love, taking eight years and over £1 million of R&D to reach this stage,” said Andrei Feraru. “It’s the only solution that captures ISO-compliant, personalized exposure data across full shifts, helping companies reduce risks and improve compliance.”
The project has received vital support from Coventry University, which helped develop the technology, secure patents, and incubate the spin-out company. The first commercial glove was sold to Coventry City Council in 2022.
Several well-known industry figures and investors have joined Feraru Dynamics, including former executives from Balfour Beatty and leaders from Toyota, Maaden Aluminium, and Acciona Construction.
Vlad Feraru said these partnerships are important: “Our investors bring valuable industry experience and connections, helping us grow and make workplaces safer for thousands of workers.”
Recent updates from the UK Health and Safety Executive confirming the glove’s measurement method have strengthened the company’s growth prospects. Feraru Dynamics also plans to develop new wearable technology to address musculoskeletal disorders, whole-body vibration, and exposure to noise, dust, and chemicals.
