History
> In 1972, RESQTEC, started by introducing, in partnership with Hurst Performance, the hydraulic rescue tool concept into the world market. Hurst Performance dedicated its efforts to the American continent, and RESQTEC for the rest of the world. This partnership led to several innovations that changed the way you do rescue operations. Besides the spreader, products like the dedicated cutter and the ram were developed during the partnership. In 1990 Hurst Performance and RESQTEC split up due to differences in strategy. Since then our presence as grown rapidly, we believe mostly due to the strategy to develop innovative product. One of our biggest successes has come from the development of the NT lifting bag, which is been adapted quickly due to the advantages it gives rescuers.

Quote As a leading manufacturer in the rescue industry, our vision is not to be the biggest in the market, but to be the best. We make no compromise when it comes to product performance.
