Major distribution opportunity at world leading Assistive Technology event
19 October 2009
UK based companies Environmental Handling Systems and sister company Evacusafe UK, who manufacture an innovative evacuation chair for mobility impaired people, weres looking to source new distributors at this years' Rehacare exhibition, in Dusseldorf.
At the event, Evacusafe showcased their Evacusafe chair - the latest in emergency escape chairs - and their new Ambulance / Transit Chair.
The Evacusafe chair has been specially designed to help people in wheelchairs, Injuries, pregnancy or who have mobility problems, get out of buildings quickly and easily. It offers a simple, reliable and practical solution by being lightweight and running on a friction controlled track.
Evacusafe can be maneuvered down stairs easily and smoothly in an emergency, and can be controlled by one or two people. There is no heavy lifting and once the chair has been used it can be moved quickly to a place of safety away from the emergency.
Easy to use and set up, each Evacusafe chair comes with arm rests, a seat belt, a cushioned head rest and brakes for ultimate safety and comfort. It also has sturdy hooks, a highly visible overhead sign and a protective cover.
Everyone who buys an Evacusafe chair is given a comprehensive training manual and CD to show them how to set up and operate the chair. Full training packages can also be supplied including ‘train the trainer’, which allows companies to cascade the training down to their employees.
The Evacusafe chair is currently sold in the UK direct by Evacusafe, who used the Rehacare show as a platform to source international distributors. Following last years' show the company has now got distributors in place in the Netherlands, Israel, Dubai and New Zealand.
Paul Mitchell, Director of Evacusafe, said:
"We are seeking distributors for Europe, in particular France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland who can not only distribute the chair but also supply the training packages in different languages. We are keen to use the event to meet with international companies. It maybe that a certain distributor has interests in more than one country or is capable of servicing multiple territories. We are also looking to discuss partnerships in the USA, Canada and South America."
The Evacusafe chair meets all current UK / EEC Fire Safety Regulations and Disability Discrimination legislation. It also helps organisations meet their duty of care in risk assessments and emergency evacuation procedures.
Evacusafe sell their Evacuation chair to a large number of organisations across the UK including hotels, hospitals, government buildings, banks, office blocks, schools, colleges, universities, fire equipment companies, ambulance and emergency services and health and safety organisations.
