LION acquires BullEx, HAAGEN

PPE manufacturer LION has acquired BullEx Digital Safety and HAAGEN Fire Training Products.

"With BullEx and HAAGEN as part of the LION group, we offer another critical aspect of readiness — effective training equipment to make sure first responders are more knowledgeable, more proficient and more prepared to do their jobs," LION CEO Steve Schwartz said.

The acquired companies' product lines include fire, safety and hazmat training tools, systems and centers that are used by fire departments, corporations and governments worldwide.

"The new division not only satisfies our fire department customers' needs for more effective training, but it helps LION move closer to its vision to be the provider of choice for complete personal safety and training readiness," Schwartz said.

BullEx CEO Ryan O'Donnell said the addition of BullEx and HAAGEN to the LION group of companies is a natural fit.

"Not only do the companies share a culture of innovation, but they have a commitment to enhancing first responder readiness," he said, adding that the move would enhance the abilities of BullEx and HAAGEN to develop, market, manufacture and service cutting-edge training systems and centers for their global customer bases.
