Silmar AS has got the distribution rights to sell Escape-Chair® evacuation Chairs in the Scandinavian countries.

Escape-Chair® is produced in Aachen in Germany by Escape Mobility Company.
This Dutch owned company has more than 20 years of experience in evacuation
equipment over stairs.

With the help of the Escape-Chair® just one operator can bring a physically-dependent person down the stairs to safety. The Escape-Chair® is available in various designs to meet every situation.

An evacuation Chair is important in any Shopping center or building with more than 1 floor in occasions like Fire or smoke alarms, Power failure, Bomb alert or Lift failures.

The biggest advantages are:

* Ready for use in seconds
* Does not block the stairways
* You decide how quickly to descend
* Makes the evacuation flow
* Fits into every evacuation plan

We also this spring introduced the Evacuaid® Emergency Bracelet, and we feel these
products are complementing each other, says Ingar Paul Taxt in Silmar AS
