Draeger Safety UK Ltd. Training Services

Draeger Safety UK Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Drägerwerk AG, Lübeck, Germany.

Draeger Limited (then known as Draeger Normalair) was formed in 1963 as an equal joint venture between Drägerwerk and Westland Aircraft. Its task was to sell Drägerwerk products and Normalair (Westlands) Breathing Apparatus in the UK. In 1965 the manufacture of Breathing Apparatus was transferred to Blyth. In 1974 the Westland 50% share in the Company was purchased by Drägerwerk. Throughout a series of changes in the 1970’s and the 1980’s, Dräger’s manufacturing facilities were reorganised resulting in a centralisation of Air Breathing Apparatus design and manufacture in Blyth. Furthermore, there is another establishment in the UK in Plymouth. There specialists produce a flame detection system for Dräger.

In 2002 the company was renamed Draeger Safety UK Limited.

Today, nearly 400 employees work for Dräger Safety in Blyth and Plymouth in the following areas:

• Manufacture of all Dräger’s Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus and some of the fire and gas detection products
• R&D: Design and Improvement Dräger’s Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus.
• International marketing of Blyth manufactured product using the world-wide Dräger sales network and some direct international selling through Dräger agents.
• Sales, Marketing and Service in the UK of all Dräger Safety products and also for fire and gas detection in the Middle East.

Draeger Safety UK Ltd. accomplishes service and maintenance in an own repairs workshop, spare parts and equipment is stored in the own stock and is therefore short term available. It was accredited with ISO9001 approval in December 1992 and certified to ISO14001 from February 2002.
