Rosenbauer International AG is an Austrian company that makes firefighting vehicles and equipment. Its core products include fire trucks, aerial ladders, rescue vehicles, and firefighting systems sold to fire departments, airports, military organizations, and industrial customers around the world. Rosenbauer is one of the largest manufacturers of firefighting vehicles globally, with a history stretching back over 150 years.

The company earns money by selling vehicles and equipment outright, and also through service contracts, spare parts, and digital firefighting solutions. Rosenbauer operates across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, with manufacturing plants in Austria, Germany, the United States, and other countries. Its long-standing brand reputation and specialized engineering give it a competitive edge in a market with relatively few large global players. The key growth driver is rising demand for modern firefighting equipment as municipalities upgrade aging fleets, though the business faces pressure from high raw material costs and supply chain disruptions that can squeeze its already modest profit margins.
