The ZIEGLER Group is establishing a joint venture with Bavaria Fire-Fighting Solutions (Bavaria Holdings) in Egypt, a manufacturer for fire extinguishers of all types and sizes.

Bavaria and ZIEGLER joint venture

The target of the joint venture is to facilitate the access to ZIEGLER vehicles for the market in the Middle East

The target of the joint venture is to facilitate the access to ZIEGLER vehicles for the market in the Middle East. Among other things, ZIEGLER will, therefore, supply Bavaria with components manufactured within the ZIEGLER Group.

The components will then be assembled in a newly built production hall in Egypt, allowing customers to purchase locally produced vehicles that meet ZIEGLER's high quality standards.

Customer segments served

ZIEGLER serves four strategic customer segments, Municipal, Industry, Airport and Government. Each segment has its own special requirements, to which ZIEGLER's products and services are designed.

The vehicles provided for municipal fire departments guarantee security in metropolitan areas, cities and communities and other than vehicles for large industrial plants, correspond exactly to the respective standard.

Industrial and airport firefighting vehicles

Vehicles used in industrial plants usually have very specific application profiles and are not subject to any particular standard. For airport firefighting vehicles, ZIEGLER vehicles guarantee safety on the ground.

Vehicle configurations have been specifically designed for the requirements of official authorities and ministries require a great deal of technical know-how. For this purpose, ZIEGLER builds vehicles for civil or disaster protection, for military or law enforcement purposes or for domestic or foreign operations.

"With Bavaria, we have a strong and competent partner on our side, who has always supported us well in the distribution and sale of our products in the Middle East. The establishment of the joint venture now offers further interesting opportunities. We are already looking forward to our future cooperation," said René Pol, CSO, ZIEGLER Group.
