Lakeland Industries, Inc., a global manufacturer of protective clothing and apparel for industry, healthcare and first responders, has announced it has been awarded a fire equipment tender by ANAC (Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil), Argentina’s National Civil Aviation Administration.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
ANAC is Argentina’s national government body responsible for the regulation, oversight and promotion of civil aviation safety.
With responsibility over the country’s airports, its Rescue and Firefighting Service SSEI (Servicio de Salvamento y Extinción de Incendios) provides services in the event of aviation accidents or incidents occurring within the airport or its vicinity.
Jim Jenkins, President and CEO of Lakeland Industries shared: “This tender was awarded to a single supplier and required the successful bidder to provide a complete fire protection solution across multiple product categories.
“Our ability to offer an integrated, multi-brand Fire + Safety portfolio, developed through recent acquisitions and product expansion, was a key factor in securing the award.
“The contract includes a variety of equipment across our brands including Eagle structural suits and gloves, Veridian boots and hoods, Pacific fire helmets and Lakeland proximity suits.
“In addition, historically the tender specifications for this customer favored a range of incumbent manufacturers and locally produced equipment.
“Our global sales team’s sustained engagement with the Argentine fire service community enabled us to compete and ultimately win across the full scope of this award.”
Jenkins concluded: “We believe the competitive advantage of our multi-brand, multi-category platform will continue to deliver on single-award tenders across aviation and municipal fire services, building revenue and long-term value for our shareholders.”
