About the show (opens in a new tab)Frequently asked questions
Which European trade fair is relevant to UK fire and rescue equipment suppliers?
INTERSCHUTZ in Hannover, Germany, brings together the fire, rescue and civil protection sectors. UK suppliers of firefighting equipment, rescue technology, protective equipment and emergency vehicles can assess it for international business development. The audience includes operational professionals and organisations as well as industry, so demonstrations should connect product performance with a clear operational use.
Can INTERSCHUTZ help UK suppliers reach international fire and rescue buyers?
INTERSCHUTZ brings manufacturers together with professional and volunteer responders, authorities and sector organisations. UK exhibitors can use it to discuss operational requirements and potential distribution relationships. Prepare information on product performance, service support and market availability so prospective customers can assess how you would support their organisation.
Can we demonstrate emergency vehicles or rescue equipment at INTERSCHUTZ?
INTERSCHUTZ includes practical demonstrations and outdoor exhibition areas alongside hall displays. The appropriate format depends on the equipment and activity. Discuss vehicle access, space, operating conditions and approvals with the organiser before planning a live demonstration; a standard stand booking should not be assumed to cover every activity.
What should a UK exhibitor budget for at INTERSCHUTZ?
Include stand space, construction, technical services, transport, handling, travel and accommodation. Vehicles and bulky rescue equipment may require additional logistics and display space. Request a quotation based on the equipment you intend to bring, and confirm demonstration arrangements and service charges before committing to the stand design.
Where can UK civil protection and emergency communications companies exhibit internationally?
INTERSCHUTZ includes civil protection, communications and control centre solutions alongside fire and rescue equipment. The Hannover exhibition is relevant to UK suppliers whose technology supports emergency coordination and response. Explain the users, operational setting and interoperability requirements your product addresses, then confirm which exhibition area and presentation format best fit that application.
Is INTERSCHUTZ relevant for UK fire and rescue teams looking for equipment?
INTERSCHUTZ provides opportunities to compare vehicles, protective equipment, rescue technology and communications systems, and discuss their operational use with suppliers. Plan meetings around your service requirements and ask about training, maintenance and support. An exhibition demonstration is a useful starting point for a fuller technical and procurement assessment.
