As announced during the FIA Conference 2023 in Cordoba, Spain, Holmatro remains an FIA Official Supplier and will continue to make available its latest hydraulic rescue equipment to FIA club members  for another year at preferential prices. 

As part of the agreement, Holmatro will work with the FIA Safety Department to make available  equipment to support local crews and ensure the highest standards. In addition, National Sporting Authorities will have direct access to Holmatro rescue equipment for their racing series via the FIA webstore. 

Having supplied tools for the IndyCar safety team since 1990, Holmatro has become a leader in manufacturing rescue equipment to assist in the quick and safe extrication of race drivers following incidents on track. 

Holmatro’s cordless, compact and powerful Pentheon tools are ideal for the motor sport environment, where drivers need to be extricated from carbon fibre monocoques and high-strength roll-cage structures. 

Over the years it has been Holmatro’s goal to translate their learnings in racing into innovative rescue tools that raise the level of global post-crash response. 

Nuno Costa, Director FIA Safety Department, said: “We are pleased to extend our relationship with Holmatro for the supply of state-of-the-art rescue equipment as part of the FIA’s ongoing efforts to deliver the highest-possible safety standards in motorsport.”

Harm Hermans, Holmatro CEO, said: “Holmatro is proud to remain official supplier to the FIA and bring our rescue equipment to circuits worldwide. We believe in constant improvement and innovation when it comes to making the world safer, healthier and more productive, and this is a further demonstration of the quality of our world-class tools and extrication training & consultancy.”
