Our advanced fabric technologies are designed to meet the requirements of professionals, their workplaces and unexpected changes on the job, especially where they are at risk of being exposed to adverse conditions or hazardous substances.

We stand by our promise to make sure professionals can focus on the job at hand, not on their gear. INDUSTRIES WE WORK WITH: WORKWEAR End users in many workwear applications require protection from hazards such as extreme weather, chemicals, flame exposure and other occupational hazards. Their PPE needs to be comfortable to wear.

Tough, reliable gear is absolutely crucial. FIRE & SAFETY Firefighters, first responders, rescue teams and paramedics require dependable safety and turnout gear they can rely on. LAW ENFORCEMENT Law enforcement units need PPE that can comfortably protect them during sudden changes in weather conditions of the call, including high-risk situations. High visibility and agility are also key features.

GORE-TEX Professional Fabrics, VIKING Fire PPE, AAK Safety AS and Cresto Safety recently wrapped up an incredible week of training in Greenland, collaborating with height rescue personnel to test the latest innovations while surrounded by breathtaking glaciers, fjords, and mountains. VIKING Fire PPE delivered the first GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Stretch garments to the Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and Tasiilaq, Greenland to test the functionality with these elastic jackets and trousers. New GORE-TEX Stretch garments enabled them to complete the training free of constraint, increasing the mobility of the rescuer, and making it possible to focus on their tasks. “After 7 intense days, the emergency services have just trained 8 new height and mountain rescuers, from Tasiilaq and Nuuk. We are now even better equipped to help citizens and tourists when an accident occurs.” (Jes Damgaard Andersen, Emergency Manager Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq) The course was both physically and mentally demanding, the Rescue Service is delighted with their Advanced Training, and the advances offered by GORE-TEX garments. The natural beauty of Greenland is nothing short of inspirational, reminding us of the vastness and power of nature. #GORETEX #CROSSTECH #PYRAD #STRETCH #VIKINGFire #FirstResponder #SAR #SearchAndRescue #Innovation #Greenland #Training #SafetyAtHeight

Firefighters at MEYER PORT4 GmbH 4 factory fire department at the MEYER WERFT GmbH & Co. KG shipyard in Papenburg face unique challenges.
