Firefighting scale and international footprint

LEADER GROUP has expanded its international operations, with more than 250 employees, activity across Europe, North America and Asia, and a network of over 500 distributors worldwide.

The company reports that this growth has taken place over the past decade as it moved from a European SME into a structured international industrial group.

Its current structure brings together multiple entities and technologies to cover a wide range of firefighting and rescue operations.

Firefighting equipment and manufacturing shift

LEADER GROUP states that it has transitioned from product distribution into design and manufacturing, with a focus on delivering integrated equipment for operational use.

Its portfolio includes ventilation systems used to clear smoke-filled environments and thermal imaging cameras used to locate unconscious victims.

The range also includes extinguishing and pumping solutions used to support fire control during incidents.

INTERSCHUTZ 2026 presence

LEADER GROUP will present its full range of technologies at INTERSCHUTZ 2026 within a single exhibition space.

The event will mark its first appearance as a unified international group, with its firefighting equipment and systems displayed together.

Holmatro introduces the new Pentheon Series

by Products

The Pentheon Series offers a much higher speed than other rescue equipment. This is thanks to a new and patented mechatronic system inside these tools. This system continuously optimises the motor and pump settings to deliver a maximised oil flow over the full pressure range. Where all other rescue tools show a significant decrease in speed when switching to another stage to deal with higher loads, Holmatro Pentheon tools stick to the ideal stepless speed curve.

Being much faster than previous generations of rescue tools Pentheon tools are equipped with a two-mode control handle for ultimate speed control. This enables rescuers, at any time during the rescue operation, to choose between the tools’ high-speed and low-speed modes. Within these modes, the speed is still proportional to how far you turn the control handle to its left or right.

With Holmatro Pentheon tools battery management is as easy as just plugging it in. Thanks to On-Tool Charging you can charge the battery while it remains on the tool. This means you don’t need to swap batteries all the time. Simply connect the tool to the charger and the whole charging process will regulate itself. The battery on the tool always has priority over the one on the charger, which will resume charging when the battery on the tool is 100% full. Three chargers can be connected in series to be powered from a single outlet. This allows you to charge a total of 6 batteries without any management, whether placed on a charger or on a tool connected to it.

The Pentheon Series consists of the following rescue tool models: Inclined Cutter PCU50, Spreader PSP40, Telescopic Ram PTR50 and Combi Tool PCT50.

The tips on the spreader have pointed teeth on both sides that bite into the material. The middle row of teeth is taller and offers instant grip. The teeth on the outside alternately point in the opposite direction, which allows for a superior grip over the full spreading range. Finally, an interlocking profile results in reduced insertion dimensions.

Another user-friendly feature of the Pentheon Series is the Smart Extension of the telescopic ram. As soon as you connect the optional extension pipe, the ram will automatically adapt its force to the new maximum length of 1804 mm / 71 inches that can be achieved. Thanks to this solution Holmatro can offer you one compact ram for all applications, including cross ramming over a large distance.

There are many more unique features & benefits of Pentheon rescue tools, such as temperature management technology (which allows you to keep working in extremely hot conditions) and underwater use.
