Skandinavisk Brandteknik

What Skandinavisk Brandteknik does

Skandinavisk Brandteknik is a Denmark-based distributor and service provider operating within the VIKING group of companies, focused on maritime and offshore firefighting, life-saving, and personal protective equipment. The firm is small (18 employees, headquartered in Denmark) and appears to act as the Danish commercial arm channeling the broader VIKING Life-Saving Equipment A/S product portfolio into regional maritime customers, with VIKING Fire (viking-fire.com) serving as a related sub-brand focused on fire safety products and services.

The product portfolio spans a complete maritime firefighting and safety catalog. Core offerings include fireman's outfits (fire suits, hoods, helmets, gloves, boots, axes, waist belts, fireproof safety lines), breathing and respiratory protection (EEBDs, SCBAs, facemasks, smoke hoods, cylinders, compressors, filters), fire extinguishers across CO2, foam, powder, water, and fluorine-free agent types, fire hoses with multiple international coupling standards (Barcelona, Guillemin, Instantaneous, Nakajima, NH, Storz, Machino), specialized foam concentrates (AFFF, SFFF Hi-Ex, SFFF-AR, Protein-AR), marine and offshore evacuation systems, liferafts, hydrants and landing valves, helicopter crash kits, and international shore connections. Modern hazard extensions include electric-car firefighting and container firefighting sub-categories. All equipment is supplied approved to current SOLAS and maritime regulatory standards.

The business model combines four revenue streams: one-time equipment sales, usage-based equipment rental (notably for offshore wind PPE, immersion suits, liferafts, and breathing apparatus), recurring service and maintenance through a global service-station network, and subscription service agreements (Shipowner Agreement and Offshore Safety Agreement) bundling ongoing support. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales, a viking-life.com e-commerce storefront, and the VIKING global service-station network. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and customer segmentation spans eight maritime verticals: commercial shipping, cruise and ferry, oil and gas, offshore wind, defence and professional, shipyards, fishing, and yachting.
