Investment in the right firefighting equipment always pays off

Innovation for PPE design and functionalty never rests

Over the last 10 years quite some innovation has been going on in terms of design and functions for firefighting equipment. Fire suit brands have invented several new gadgets in order to protect wearers from exposure to the specific hazards and dangers associated with their differing mission tasks.

Whilst firefighters have once mostly been engaged in rescue work directly linked to structural fires, their increasing involvement in the broader range of urban search and rescue activities involving high buildings, vehicles and major incidents as well as disaster recovery has meant that their operational activity increasingly involves rescue work. The goal for Taiwan KK Corp. with its fire suit brand Super Armor has been the scope to better equip firefighters all over the world for any eventuality without straining the budget of local fire departments too much.

Super Armor firefighting suits come with the most durable materials put together with useful gadgets for the active and passive security of firefighters. Through the constant development of advanced manufacturing methods, the benefits of lighter weight fabrics combined with innovative garment design has led to new products in our product range, which do not just increase wearer’s comfort, but also provide some innovations coming in useful to save the life of the firefighter, while he is busy trying to save the life of civilains.

“We do not just put emphasis on the durability of the fire suit but also on the usefulness of the little details on firefighter’s clothing.”, Taiwan KK’s CEO Anderson Tsai states. “Innovation is everything, to facilitate firefighters’ missions. We keep on developing our RFID system for implementation in our fire suits, but also do not let the physiological impact of the garment out of our focus.”
