Nobody can ever question his moral compass and we as employees are proud to be part of the Datrex team.

We are a manufacturer of water and food rations, liferings, signage, commercial PFDs and other emergency pack equipment. Datrex has also several service centers for safety equipment and an importer for prestigious companies such as CM Hammar, Hansson PyroTech, Duarry, Nautic, Daniamant, Kadematic, Mullion, Secumar, Veleria San Giorgio, Jotron and many others.
