AMKUS Rescue Systems Launches of Light Rescue Series
Valparaiso, IN May 13, 2025 — AMKUS Rescue Systems, a leader in the manufacturing of extraction tools for firefighters and emergency responders, announced that the company has launched its newest product line – The Light Rescue Series.
The Light Rescue Series includes the Light Rescue Spreader, Cutter, and a Combi tool that combines a Spreader and Cutter in one device. The products incorporate carbon fiber and titanium making the tools stronger and lighter, while maintaining durability. They also now include the industry’s largest motor.
“We designed the Light Rescue Series to meet the real-world needs of today’s firefighters,” said Emilie Maheu, President of AMKUS Rescue Systems. “Departments asked for lighter, more balanced tools without compromising strength. We delivered — using advanced carbon fiber and titanium engineering to create a series that’s faster, tougher, and easier to maneuver on scene. And, just like every AMKUS product, the Light Rescue Series is proudly made in the USA.”
