Plant Fire Department at Meyer Werft wears S-GARD with GORE-TEX product technology

Firefighters at Meyer Port 4 factory fire department at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg (GERMANY) face unique challenges. Fires at the ship construction site involve high temperatures in the ship's hull. Narrow corridors, steep stairs, and exposed wiring make movement difficult. Long travel distances further complicate operations. To stay prepared for emergencies, Meyer Port 4 maintains a training area for regular drills under real-life conditions.
Tough conditions call for the best gear. The Harbor Heroes rely on S-GARD clothing featuring GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PARALLON® product technology. It offers lightweight, high thermal protection even in wet environments, quick redrying, viral protection, and excellent flexibility. For head-to-toe protection, the team is equipped with HAIX boots and gloves from ESKA and SEIZ. All with GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® membranes.
