Company Information/Anniversary

- 150 years of blazing passion - From a fire service equipment
business founded in 1866 to global market leadership

In 1866, the primary aim of the decorative metal former, Johann
Rosenbauer, was already to provide the Linz fire service with the
best possible equipment and to revolutionize firefighting. And 150
years later, this remains the objective of the leading international
fire industry group, Rosenbauer. Leading edge vehicles for municipal,
airport and industrial fire services, as well as protective
equipment, fire extinguishing systems, stationary fire protection and
telematics make up the group's full-liner portfolio. Moreover during
the past 150 years, through its innovative strengths Rosenbauer has
been able to repeatedly win over customers around the world and thus
establish new technological and design standards.

This ability was exemplified in 1991 with the unveiling of the
PANTHER ARFF, which in the meantime ensures passenger safety at
innumerable airports across the globe. Moreover, the company was
already able to demonstrate its innovative prowess as early as 1871,
when its designs for fire service ladders were awarded prizes, and
again in 1910 with the delivery of the first steam pump. In 1950, the
presentation of Europe's first high-pressure water mist extinguishing
system was met with a hugely positive response, as fires could be
extinguished far more quickly with smaller volumes of water. This
success was repeated in 1988 with the debut of the FOX portable pump,
which even today remains a highly popular product among Rosenbauer's
customers. Furthermore, in 1994 Rosenbauer triggered a genuine
design revolution with the AT fire truck. AT is the abbreviation for
aluminum technology and stands for aluminum superstructures, which
have made fire service vehicles far lighter and more flexible.

A branch trendsetter through innovation In the new millennium,
Rosenbauer has continued to shine with a diversity of innovative
products and has established itself as the world market leader. In
addition, although the company went public in 1994, sustainable,
long-term development remains the focus of its owning family. A
strategy confirmed by CEO Dieter Siegel: "Our number one priority is
