| Effective 1 July 2004, Dräger Safety AG & Co. KGaA (Lübeck) took
over breathing mask manufacturer Zenith Safety Products Trust,
King William’s Town (South Africa). In doing so, the Lübeck hazard
management specialist has become an important manufacturer of
light respiratory protection products on the South African market.
"With our new production company, Dräger Safety Zenith (Pty) Ltd.,
we have underlined our commitment in South Africa as a sales,
service and production company“, announced Safety CEO Professor
Albert Jugel. As he went on to explain, the takeover will allow Dräger
Safety to make available an extensive range of safety products and
services to the regional market – particularly in the sectors of mining
and industry. Under its Pioneering Solutions slogan, Dräger Safety is
now in a position to offer individual system solutions in the South
African market, too, with a view to meeting its customers'
requirements. |
|
| Dräger Safety Zenith manufactures filtering respiratory protection
masks which protect the wearer from dust and aerosols. Such masks
became the focus of public interest worldwide in connection with
SARS. |
|
| Dräger has been represented on the South African market since the
1960s, and has operated its own subsidiary there since 1991 (Dräger
South Africa Pty Ltd.). |

manufacturers of personal protection and gas detection technology, and a
systems supplier of complete safety services (sales in 2003: Euro 477,4
million, employees: 3,406). |
