At Interschutz 2010 North Fire Managing Director Oliver North was pleased to sign Metz into the ever expanding Rosenbauer portfolio as North Fire take control of Metz Turntable Ladders and ALP sales throughout the UK and Ireland. The decision was made by Metz in a move for them to offer ‘best value’ into the UK through direct sales and service. North Fire will assist all sales and provide the main point of contact with the intention of propelling the Metz Products in the UK to the same place where the products lie throughout the remainder of the World’s fire & rescue services... at the top.

North Fire Managing Director Oliver North commented:

"Throughout the past few years the same, small number of Aerial Ladder Platform suppliers have supplied products into the UK without much competition in their own specialist areas. Now Metz will challenge all aspects from ALPs and ARPs to TL’s, on two axles or three, from 16 tonnes to 26 tonnes and I passionately believe that the Metz brand in conjunction with their owners Rosenbauer is a dream team which will be of serious interest to new and existing UK customers. We will prove our capability with a demonstration day on 29th September at Whitley Hall, Sheffield, where all Brigade transport managers will be invited."
