WFVD - SAFEGUARDING INDUSTRY

As a long-standing partner of the WVFD, we would like to inform international and national heads of industrial fire departments as well as key figures to draw attention to the SAFEGUARDING INDUSTRY networking event planned by the WFVD.

Where: Interschutz 2026 - Hannover Trade Fair

When: Mon., June 1, 2026

Dear International Industry Fire Experts,

SAFEGUARDING TOMORROW: In a time of multiple threats, Interschutz 2026 opens its doors with a motto that is both an appeal and a promise. As a long-standing partner of the world's leading trade fair for fire services, rescue, and civil protection, the WFVD embraces this guiding principle and sharpens it according to the association's focus:

SAFEGUARDING INDUSTRY!

Interschutz is already casting its first big shadows, and I am delighted that today we can send you a very special “Save the Date”!

We want to maintain and expand our network! For the very first time, we will engage in a dialogue with our international, worldwide partners and establish a platform for exchange.

On the first day of the trade fair, Monday, June 1, 2026, we invite you to a very special event:

For this exclusive event, we are inviting the heads of our industrial fire departments as well as all key figures in the field of industrial fire protection. In addition to hopefully many international guests, we will also invite our long-standing partners from the fire protection industry and look forward to their participation.

AFFG conference 2026

We will be participating in the AFFG conference in Rome from 24 to 26 March 2026, stand 104.

For the first time, Dr Sthamer will be presenting their products for forest firefighting at the AFFG Conference and Exhibition. In addition to STHAMEX-Performance 1% F-20 #9148, the BosQRet product range will also be presented to the trade audience in Rome. BosQRet #1801 can be applied both from the ground and from the air. The retardant, with its additional colouration, enables forestry authorities, fire services, and military units to combat forest and vegetation fires effectively while saving water. A single application is sufficient to reduce the intensity of the flames and significantly slow down their spread. Even when dried, BosQRet remains effective. This means that BosQRet can also be applied preventively as a second or third line of defence. We look forward to the exchange with experts.
