Switlik Survival Products announced its partnership with SITECH, a Swedish company focused on the development of innovative safety solutions for protective suits, to introduce replaceable wrist seals to the first responder anti-exposure dry suit market.
“Switlik and SITECH share a commitment to bringing customers the most innovative and common-sense solutions available. Both are dedicated to making the highest quality products on the market, making this an ideal agreement between two premium manufacturers,” said Paul Arnold, director of commercial sales at Switlik Survival Products.
“Switlik is thrilled to partner with SITECH to bring replaceable wrist seals to the first responder anti-exposure dry suit market. First responders who utilize dry suits for flood, swift water and ice rescue will no longer have to go weeks without their suits, waiting for costly wrist seal replacement. SITECH’s field-replaceable wrist seal will be a cost-effective and time-saving solution to a problem commonly faced by rescue responders. We’re excited to share our collaboration with water rescue professionals across the U.S. and Europe, and set a new standard for safety, quality and convenience in the market.”
This strategic collaboration marks SITECH’s first and only partnership with a manufacturer in the anti-exposure dry suit market, making Switlik the exclusive provider of this cutting-edge technology. These first-of-its-kind replaceable wrist seals will advance dry suit performance for first responders, setting a new industry standard for safety, readiness and response time.
“At SITECH, we remain at the forefront of garment engineering, and our partnership with Switlik is a natural step in our ongoing mission to develop products that stand up to the toughest conditions,” said Jonas Axelsson, CEO of SITECH.
“Together, we share a commitment to improving work in demanding environments by introducing the new seal system, Koster, which is not only user-friendly but also combines exceptional comfort with long-term durability. With the end user always in focus, we take pride in designing solutions that minimize service costs by simplifying maintenance and repair – benefiting everyone involved throughout the full, extended lifecycle of a garment.”
The new wrist seals are expected to become available on Switlik.com at the end of July.
