AWG Fittings reimagined the most successful nozzle sold in their home country of Germany and are now seeing strong order growth from customers across Europe.
AWG’s Turbo Spritze has been a dominant firefighter nozzle for German fire departments for more than 20 years. With adjustments to flow rates, the addition of available couplings used in other markets, and a rebranding as TurboStrike, the team is experiencing success pursuing new global market opportunities, beginning primarily in Europe.
“We only launched a few months ago and we have exceeded our AOP (annual
operating plan) in each month since the launch,” AWG Senior Product Manager Marvin Willrich said.
TurboStrike’s unique design, featuring spinning teeth and a fixed sprocket, creates a filled hollow jet that optimizes extinguishing effects, especially at wide angles. This hollow jet generates overpressure at the center of the spray cone, pushing flames away from the operator rather than drawing them in, enhancing firefighting efficiency and significantly boosting operator safety.
Designed to deliver high quality and affordability, TurboStrike features versatility and superior performance at an exceptional value. Constructed from durable anodized aluminum, the nozzle is designed to be corrosion-resistant and reliable over time, even when exposed to firefighting suppression foams or extreme temperatures. It is also lightweight, minimizing firefighter discomfort.
AWG manufactures all its products at its facility in Ballendorf, Germany.
