Rosenbauer, the fire-equipment industry´s leading manufacturer, has
won an order from the Saudi Arabian Ministry of the Interior to
supply fire engineering equipment worth a total of 245.3 mEUR. 1,125
vehicles are to be supplied, of various types and for various
operational purposes, as are boats and other civil defence equipment.

Due to the rapid increase in the Kingdom´s population over the past
few decades, it has been decided to launch an additional expansion
program for the fire protection sector. This will involve building
and fitting out 180 new fire-stations, mainly in urban areas. As well
as this, some 6,000 extra firemen have been recruited and are
currently undergoing training.

Besides water tankers built to European Standards, the supply
contract also comprises pumpers and rescue vehicles manufactured to
US Standards. In addition, heavy recovery vehicles, aerial ladders,
boats and hydraulic rescue equipment have been ordered. Most of the
vehicles are to be produced at the Rosenbauer plants in Leonding,
Lyons (SD), Karlsruhe and Spain. Non-Rosenbauer-specific items such
as boats are to be subcontracted to specialist vendors. The order as
a whole is be fulfilled in several part-deliveries spread across the
next 30 months, i.e. through until mid-2014.

"This success underlines the Rosenbauer Group´s industry-leading
position yet again. Thanks to the highly satisfactory order trend
over the past few months - and in contrast to the negative
developments in the market as a whole - capacity utilization at our
production facilities is assured for the next two years", comments
the Rosenbauer Group´s Executive Board Chairman Dr. Dieter Siegel.
Rosenbauer´s long-standing working relationship with the Saudi
Arabian clients is founded upon the high quality of its products,
which have been developed in close collaboration with the customer to
meet local requirements.
