Our Story

Protection Is Our Business. And Our Passion.

Safe Haven Enterprises was founded in 1998 by Alta Baker after witnessing firsthand the absence of protection in high-risk environments. From a single blast resistant modular building in a petrochemical facility, Safe Haven has grown into a globally recognized manufacturer trusted by the US Department of State, Army Corps of Engineers, USAID, and clients on six continents.

"Running with my team during a petrochemical gas release, I wished there was a shelter for protection. It was then that I knew protection was needed to save lives. Physical protection has become my business and my passion."

— Alta Baker, Founder & President/CEO
