Dräger partners with protective equipment company

Germany-based Dräger, a firefighting safety technology company, recently formed a strategic partnership with Connecticut-based Municipal Emergency Services (MES) Life Safety, the largest supplier of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and personal protective equipment to first responders in the United States.

Under the agreement, MES Life Safety becomes an authorized sales partner for the Dräger PSS AirBoss SCBA and a certified Dräger service center for warranty repairs on Dräger SCBAs.

“We are delighted to welcome MES Life Safety into the Dräger family as an authorized AirBoss distributor and service partner,” John Wilson, Dräger’s senior vice president of sales & marketing in the United States, said. “Our Partner network remains foundational to how we serve the fire service, and the addition of MES meaningfully expands our ability to support departments of every size. By extending our reach and strengthening service capability, this partnership enhances access to the right SCBA solutions while reinforcing the expertise, choice, and continuity our Partners deliver wherever U.S. firefighters serve.”

The partnership will boost Dräger’s support network across the United States, allowing it to serve fire departments in every region.

Draeger, Dräger’s U.S. subsidiary, is based in Telford, Pa., and Houston, Texas. Dräger has more than 50 existing authorized sales partners, and eight more planned service centers.
