Based in Denmark, VIKING is one of the leading manufacturers in the field of maritime and offshore safety. It provides and maintains high-quality safety equipment for passenger and commercial vessels, offshore installations, leisure craft, fishing vessels and the navy. But “landlubbers” in the shape of firefighters aren't forgotten either and benefit from complete rescue solutions in a variety of forms, ranging from standard equipment to specialist technology that offers the highest quality and performance. At INTERSCHUTZ 2020 the company is naturally focusing on protective clothing for firefighters, but nonetheless also presenting its core expertise in maritime and offshore safety.

The innovations that VIKING has so far announced it is showcasing in Hannover include a firefighter hood with Nano Flex technology, which the company sees as a major breakthrough in barrier protection for firefighting. This new, triple-layered hood is yet another step in the company’s quest to combat harmful particles, this time in the neck, ear and jaw areas, without compromising on the wearer's comfort.
