We have developed regulator technology and respiratory protection since the 1920’s. From the very beginning our mission has been to improve the safety for those that work in non-breathable environments. Today, hundreds of thousands of our self-contained breathing apparatus/breathing apparatus (SCBA/BA) sets are in use for firefighting and rescue operations. All carrying unique features – many of them have since become standard – developed and introduced by us.

In our efforts to improve the safety conditions for firefighters, we developed the positive pressure, based on technology from our experience with fighter aircraft breathing systems. Other important milestones include the introduction of SCBA/BA computers and full composite cylinders.
