FiremanBrand was launched in South Africa in 2004 and is a registered Trademark brand. I Have been working part time since this business was launched and started working fulltime in FiremanBrand™ since 2014 and became the sole proprietor in 2019. We introduced probably the best welding blanket for the panel beating industry and as a fire blanket in the hospitality industry in hotels and restaurant kitchens. My background is operations management in the clothing industry and then a full-time furniture, auto, maritime upholsterer . When I started in the fire blanket industry, I have come across many different heat-resistant fabrics and we are now able to source materials operating up to 1600degrees. When joining FiremanBrand™ full time I have used my previous years of experience of fabrics, pattern making and sewing skills to make welding/fire curtains, exhaust covers for heavy earth moving vehicles which over heats and can end up catching on fire, special fire proof covers made specially for clients needs and protective clothing for heavy welding industry and heat resistant covers for industrial machinery in many industries. FiremanBrand™ can now manufacture heat protective covers and curtains which can handle up to 1600 degrees and operating temperature of 800 degrees, we supply and manufacture them to clients specifications.
