“The extinguishing frequency has been successfully ended”-the new Rosenbauer CEO Robert Ottel summarized the year 2024 for the Fire Brigade Outfitter of Leonding (Upper Austria). With a record order certificate worth 1.7 billion euros, the company made a pillow that others would like. Nevertheless, you have to become in production faster. “It’s about reducing the lead times,” says Ottel.
Sale of 38 million euros higher

From the end of March 2025, the order stock rose to 2.34 billion euros at Rosenbauer.
