International Fire services

In 2007 Falck set up an independent division, International Fire Service, headquartered in Spain. International Fire Service offers fire services outside of Denmark, among other things industrial fire services in addition to fire training and consulting for industrial and public clients.

Falck has acquired the majority of shares in the largest industrial fire fighting company in Spain, Lainsa-SCI, and at the same time entered into a partnership with the former owner, Grupo Dominguis, about the future development of Lainsa-SCI. This partnership is the platform for an expected expansion of fire services in Southern Europe, South America and Mexico.

In Holland Falck has joined the owners of AVD Group, which offers consulting primarily in fire fighting mainly for the public sector in Holland. Fire inspections, risk analyses and risk based dimensioning of fire services are only some of the services that Falck can now offer through AVD Group. At the same time, AVD Group manages two training centres in Dordrecht and Barneveld in Holland where courses in fire fighting for public as well as private clients are offered.

In Slovakia Falck has established a team that works with the Slovakian market and other markets in Central and Eastern Europe focusing on offering industrial fire fighting services.
