Holík International is a Czech family-owned company based in Zlín that specializes in the development and manufacture of high-quality protective gloves, boots, and firefighting apparel for fire departments, emergency services, and the military. Holík’s products are certified to European standards and are supplied to more than 80 countries worldwide. All products are developed at the company’s own research and development center in the Czech Republic.

At INTERSCHUTZ 2026, Holík International will present a nearly complete system of modern firefighting protective equipment—as one of the few manufacturers worldwide with in-house development and production of firefighting gloves, boots, and firefighting apparel.

Holík deliberately focuses on genuine craftsmanship

While the current trade show is largely dominated by thousands of exhibits, drones, robots, and futuristic technologies, Holík deliberately focuses on genuine craftsmanship. At its 137-square-meter booth, the company demonstrates how protective equipment is designed as a fully functional integrated system—not as a collection of individual products or a choice between different brands.

All products are consistently coordinated

Marble firefighting gloves with 5D cut, Kira rescue gloves, Firra boots with cut protection—and now also our first in-house collection of modern firefighting apparel: All products are developed at our company’s own development center in Zlín and are consistently coordinated. “For us, INTERSCHUTZ is not just a product showcase. Above all, it is a personal meeting with the people who wear our gloves into the fire. Who trust our boots when they walk over hot coals. That makes us all the more eager to hear their feedback on our new firefighting apparel,” says Ivo Holík, the company’s owner.

An experienced partner with decades of direct collaboration with fire departments

The market for firefighting protective gear in Europe is highly fragmented. Many fire departments today combine equipment from different manufacturers—with varying standards, cuts, and levels of comfort. Holík International sees a clear opportunity precisely in this: not as a new supplier, but as an experienced partner with decades of direct collaboration with fire departments in product development. “We have consistently applied the premium quality and functional synergy that our customers have come to expect from our gloves and boots to our firefighting apparel,” emphasizes Sales Director Petr Ovčáček.

Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to try on the new protective gear themselves and experience it as part of a coordinated, integrated system. Many will get to see a whole new side of Holík in the process.
