Vobling partner with TG Products on UK licence for VR fire training

As pioneering company in the UK fire safety market, partner TG Products are collaborating as part of an exclusive reseller partnership and will be exclusively responsible for the distribution and use of Vobling’s VR Fire Trainer solution across the United Kingdom. This licence for the UK adds to the already existing European geographies, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden.

Developed by Vobling, the VR Fire Trainer is a mobile and all-in-one fire-training solution. Where real-world fire training incurs high costs and hurdles involved in obtaining permits and sourcing a real building or environment to set on fire – this immersive simulation requires little more than some open space and the VR hardware that is programmed to simulate real fires in varying situations provided.

‘We are pleased to have found a partner with an innovative solution for safe training,’ says Kevin Andrews, General Manager, TG Products. ‘The VR Fire Trainer is a disruptive innovation for the fire and safety industry. With technology playing such a huge part in our lives today, enhancing the experience of learning the most effective procedures to tackle an outbreak of a serious fire is only going to be positive for our customers. This unique VR experience demonstrates our commitment to remaining ahead of the curve when it comes to delivering exceptional training and services.’

Having already made a name for itself in the industry, TG Products has over 100 years of experience in the fire safety market and their involvement in the partnership is an example of their pioneering spirit when it comes to next-level innovation.

‘I could not be happier that the VR Fire Trainer has triggered great interest in the market and that we now are extending our reseller partner network with an internationally well-respected player like TG Products. Fire training “made easy” is coming to the UK with a dream partner!’ says Fredrik Frank, Senior Director Business Development & Partnerships, Vobling.

Statistics show that less than 50% of workers feel confident in operating fire extinguishers, and over 50% operate them incorrectly.* Proper fire safety training delivered with solutions like the VR experience from Vobling saves lives and mitigates risk for injuries and property damage. The global fire safety equipment market is expected to reach USD 105 billion by 2025 with an annual average growth rate of 8.8% (CAGR), according to Grand View Research.
