Cologne, December 6, 2011 – LION International, a member of the LHD Group of Companies, headquartered in Cologne (Germany), has successfully supplied several thousand firefighting suits as well as other PPE to customers in the Middle East. The demand has focused primarilyon the flagship model in the Pro-Tek range, the Pro-Tek Max.
The structural firefighting kits combine state of the art design with functionality that is at the cutting edge of innovation in the market. They provide the highest standard of protection and comfort for firefighters and incorporate some unique innovations in respect of lining and outer shell. The suits are specifically tailored for the hot climatic conditions of the Middle East.   
The suits will be on display on the LHD stand 6-525 S in hall 6 at the Intersec 2012 in Dubai (January 15 – 17). In addition, the LHD Group of Companies will be exhibiting other models of personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters, rescue, police, and security forces, as well as emergency medical service teams. The LHD Group has considerable experience in this field. It counts fire departments on four continents among its customers and is the preferred supplier of the German army, navy and air force as well as the German Federal Police, for example.
The LION product offering is complemented by the unique Lion TotalCare™ system. This service encompasses the management and maintenance of all PPE equipment supplied, including repair, washing and replacement. Each contract is unique to every fire brigade and is designed in partnership from the outset and subject to an independent risk assessment.
“We have very exciting plans to develop our footprint in the Middle East and see the Intersec 2012 as an excellent opportunity to network with existing and potential customers”, says Tim Ottridge, Managing Director, LION Apparel, UK.
