Firm partners manufacturer

BRIGHOUSE BASED Manufacturer Venari Group has confirmed a major exclusive partnership agreement for the firefighting sector, with one of the globe’s leading helmet manufacturers, Schuberth.

Schuberth has been creating safety helmets for motorcyclists and motorsport, including Formula One for 90 years. Having also produced EN 443-certified firefighting helmets for over 50 years, the company has selected recently launched Venari Group as its UK and Ireland distributor.

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

“The activation of our firefighting 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. 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 firefighting PPE, but with more frequent wildland firefighting, RTC’s 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 said: “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.”
