Intersec will host exhibitors from all corners of the globe, in fact, around 70% of the industry’s global market leaders will be at Intersec 2023.

For the Fire & Rescue section in particular, one key exhibitor, a founding partner of Intersec 2023 will be NAFFCO – one of the world’s leading producers and suppliers of top-tier firefighting equipment, fire protection systems, fire alarms, security and safety engineering systems worldwide. French giant the Leader Group will be at the show demonstrating a breakthrough range of technology-led equipment for safety, security and firefighting operations and personnel, including victim search apparatus such as seismic and radar life detectors and stability protection equipment for responders.
