Lifejacket Servicing

From Assembly to Aftermarket: Our Commitment to Lifejacket Quality

We are trusted to protect lives with a duty of care towards those who rely on our lifejackets. When you purchase lifejackets, they undergo rigorous quality testing after assembly. This level of care does not stop after purchase. We deliver exceptional aftermarket care, including lifejacket servicing, to ensure that product quality continues until a lifejacket needs to be replaced.

Comprehensive Servicing – What You Can Expect From Us

Our rigorous inspection ensures that lifejackets are compliant and trusted to perform in emergencies.

Performance

In aviation, performance means more than function, it means readiness under pressure. Our lifejackets and crew safety systems are engineered for rapid deployment, reliable flotation, and operational endurance across both civil and military platforms. Whether supporting commercial aviation or tactical flight operations, they deliver consistent, trusted performance when it counts.

Innovation

We advance crew safety through continuous innovation in design, materials and survivability technology. From lightweight lifejackets for civil aviation to high-performance systems for rotary and fixed-wing aircrew, our products are shaped by real-world feedback, evolving regulatory requirements and a commitment to continually raising the standard in aircrew protection.

Protection

Crew protection is central to safe and effective aviation. Our life-saving systems are designed to perform in high-stress, high-consequence environments, providing flotation, thermal protection and secure fit across a range of mission and commercial profiles. Certified and rigorously tested, they help protect lives at altitude, on approach, or in emergency descent.

Invest in Safety: Use an Approved Service Station
Choose an approved service station for your lifejacket servicing needs to ensure the highest standards of care. Approved stations have access to the correct service manuals and use genuine parts from your lifejacket manufacturer.

All service stations are audited and approved to the highest standards by legislative bodies and government associations, as well as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Using an unapproved service station may increase the risk of lifejacket failure in critical moments, invalidate warranties, and put you and your crew at risk.
