Venari Group has confirmed a major exclusive partnership agreement for the fire fighting sector, with one of the world’s leading helmet manufacturers, SCHUBERTH.

SCHUBERTH is a famous, 90-year old, manufacturer of safety helmets for motorcyclists and motorsport, including Formula One. For decades, it has also been one of the most popular helmets among German motorcyclists. And having produced EN 443-certified fire fighting helmets for over 50 years, the company has selected Venari Group as its UK and Ireland distributor.

Simultaneously, Venari has today, 15 May 2020, announced the activation of a new fire fighting equipment sales, service, and customer support division, to drive product quality and aftercare into the challenging fire fighting sector.

Oliver North, CEO, Venari Group, said, “Pre-Venari, the team and I have supplied fire fighting equipment to fire brigades since 2008, including over 80% of the current UK firefighter helmets. So, the partnership with SCHUBERTH was a very natural one.

“The activation of our fire fighting equipment department further solidifies our intention of being a high performing supplier to the UK fire and rescue market whilst continuing to build our emergency vehicle range to the highest quality possible.”

SCHUBERTH is a company committed to researching and developing materials to withstand the toughest of environments.

Oliver continued, “Our partnership will concentrate on SCHUBERTH’s truly incredible F300 helmet. The UK fire and rescue service are equipped to a very high standard in terms of structural fire fighting PPE, but with more frequent wildland fire fighting, RTCs and water rescues, the F300 provides the ultimate flexibility as a rescue and wildland helmet.”

Thomas Heinlein, Head of BU Industrial Safety and Firefighting at SCHUBERTH, added, “For us, Venari is the most exciting company in the British emergency services supplier market, so we are naturally delighted to have agreed on this truly exciting partnership with them.

“Our global reputation for high quality means we can only partner with highly efficient and passionate distributors in their specialist fields. Venari’s team have proven their efficiency and passion over countless years in the UK fire market and we’re excited to work with them in the UK fire fighting and ambulance market with our F300."
