MENTOR, Ohio (September 6 2024) – Cres Cor Health & Safety, manufacturers of Cres Guard, biological decontamination units for first responders, announces representation from Canadian Safety Equipment Inc. Canadian Safety Equipment was founded in January 1990 to fill a void in the distribution of fire, police, and EMS products in Ontario. Its immediate success resulted in the start-up of CSE Incendie et Securite a few short years later to cover the Francophone markets in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Both companies have continued to grow through economic disruptions and the Covid experience and have become two of the major players in the Canadian market.
The Cres Guard features Moist Heat Decontamination for first responder’s gear such as structural firefighting gear, helmets, SCBAs, bulletproof vests, and jump bags, as well as the newly introduced Cres Guard UVC + Heat for moisture-sensitive electronics such as laptops, tablets, radios, and cellphones.
“Canadian Safety Equipment has an excellent reputation in the Fire, Police and EMS across Canada and aligns with Cres Cor’s mission of keeping first responders safe, a strong advantage for our partnership,” comments Yogesh Ramadoss, Product Marketing Manager, Cres Cor Health and Safety.
Cres Guard has seen a positive reception from fire, police, and military first responders throughout the United States. Cres Guard is the first biological decontamination cabinet designed to reduce biological hazards on structural firefighting and first responder gear in a quick, 15-minute, chemical-free cycle. With more than 80% of emergency responses being medical situations, personnel are often exposed to hazards such as flu, COVID-19, MRSA, and bedbugs.
Cres Cor, with decades of international manufacturing and distribution support in conjunction with Canadian Safety Equipment, will prove to be a strong player in the Canadian safety market. Cres Guard biological decontamination cabinets are being used by departments throughout the U.S. For more information visit https://crescor-hs.com/ or contact Ross Humphry, [email protected] (800) 265-0182 or Yogesh Ramadoss, [email protected] 440-350-1100, Ext 370
