From the manual fire pumps of the 18th century, mounted on hand pushed/pulled carts or on horse-drawn carriages, to today's high-tech fire trucks it definitely was a long and arduous way to go, but the firefighters’ efforts would have been strongly hampered and their achievements way too diminished if we wouldn’t have had all these international manufacturers racing to innovate more and more effective solutions in the fight against fires.
One such name - constantly concerned with innovation and high performance but at the same time with fire safety - is Jacinto Marques de Oliveira, Sucrs. Lda (JACINTO). The Portuguese company was founded in 1954 and, after making a name for itself as a pump manufacturer, went on to produce fire extinguishers in the early 1980s.
After decades in which, on the one hand, it consolidated its position among the leaders of the European producers of auto-specials intended to fight forest fires and vegetation, and on the other hand it completed its range of products with auto-specials for extinguishing small fires, JACINTO enjoys the unanimous appreciation of firefighters from all over the world, proving that its products have been exported in almost 30 countries, medium and high, special for airports, mobile command points, mobile control points, aerial platforms, refineries / industrial platforms. from countries on 5 continents. Moreover, JACINTO is the manufacturer that launched the world's first 100% electric fire extinguisher, Eco Cams, with the possibility of being fully controlled from a distance of up to 1 km!
