Japan's leading trade show for the firefighting and disaster protection sector is held only every five years. After a lang break enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in the Tokyo-based event was at its height. In just four days, the trade show attracted almost 168,000 visitors, with a total of 300 companies and organizations exhibiting.The only manufacturer of breathing air system solutions represented at the show, BAUER's Japanese subsidiary, BAUER KOMPRESSOREN KITAKAMI (BKK), presented an extensive range of new products.

The B-VIRUS FREE system on display at the stand was a magnet for  visitors. As this high level of interest clearly indicated, COVID-19 and virus protection are still an extremely sensitive topic in Japan. BAUER's patented system is an uncompromisingly safe and efficient solution for eliminating viruses and bacteria of all kinds from the air before it is compressed and purified by a BAUER high-pressure compressor. The result is high-purity breathing air for use by firefighters working with breathing apparatus.

When the trade show was over, BKK expressed its great satisfaction with the interest shown by visitors and anticipates that numerous concrete  projects will emerge  from the event.
