Manufacturer lands major contract with Gibraltar Airport
Emergency services equipment specialist Rosenbauer UK has won a £2.5m contract to supply a quartet of high performance air crash trucks to Gibraltar Airport.
The Holmfirth-based firm is set to deliver its PANTHER vehicles to the airport in early 2018, which will be stationed for fire crews to use in emergency response situations.
“The team and I are extremely excited to be working with Gibraltar Airport on this project,” said Oliver North, Rosenbauer UK’s managing director.
“We are also equally excited at the prospect of delivering the pinnacle of aircraft rescue and firefighting machines at the absolute cutting edge of technology. Any PANTHER from Rosenbauer is world-class, but with Gibraltar’s specification – including the coveted ‘Stinger’ HRET – it makes these appliances all the more special.
“We now look forward to executing an efficient build programme specific to Gibraltar’s high expectations. We are confident in completing a wholly successful project to the highest possible standard.”
The partnership with Gibraltar Airport follows a contract win in the region of £6m to supply its HEROS-titan fire helmets to fire and rescue services throughout the UK.
