Fire engine manufacturer ramps up production after securing orders worth £10m

Fire engine manufacturer Rosenbauer UK is increasing production at its Yorkshire headquarters after securing nearly £10m in orders from fire services across the country.

Thirty one state-of-the-art firefighting appliances have been ordered by brigades from Cornwall to Aberdeen within the past two weeks with a combined value of £9.8m.

Rosenbauer UK managing director, Oliver North, said: “At a time when growth is hard in any sector, it really is testament to our excellent team at Rosenbauer UK that we’re able to continue our own phase of growth and increase production in Holmfirth.

“With Staffordshire and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Services entrusting us to deliver something exceptional for their individual challenges together with confirmation from Glasgow and Aberdeen Airports, we’re thrilled to be in the position of increasing our production capability to meet all of their incredibly high standards.

“The past three months have provided us with the ultimate reassurance that our strategy in maintaining high product standards with equally high levels of technology for our brave firefighters operating on the front line is the best strategy possible.”

“We must always maintain our values of quality, efficiency and whole-life value, over and above ‘first-glance price’ for it is this quality, which the firefighters using the equipment on a daily basis, require.”
