The RAMFAN manufacturer looks back on a quarter century in Europe, from its Luxembourg
base, supplying ventilation for fire and rescue, confined-space and hazardous-area work

CONTERN, Luxembourg – October 20, 2026

Euramco Group, maker of RAMFAN portable ventilation equipment, is marking 25 years in
Europe. The company set up its European subsidiary, Euramco Safety SARL, in Luxembourg in
2001. From Luxembourg it serves fire and rescue services, oil, gas and petrochemical operators,
and industrial customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

History and milestones
Euramco’s roots go back to the 1960s, to pump and steam-turbine work for the United States
Navy. In the 1980s the company applied that experience to a water-turbine-driven fan for
shipboard damage control. That work led to the RAMFAN brand, which first appeared on the
GF165 gas-powered positive pressure ventilation (PPV) fan in 1990. The Luxembourg company
was set up to serve customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Today, Euramco’s
European operations are based at Rue Edmond Reuter, 5326 Contern, Luxembourg. Milestones
in Europe include the 2019 appointment of Wolf Safety as exclusive UK distributor of RAMFAN
hazardous-location fans, a partnership with Magirus on the “Magirus, powered by RAMFAN”
PPV range, and Euramco Safety exhibiting at INTERSCHUTZ 2026 in Hannover (Hall 27, Stand
B58, 1–6 June).
The name Euramco (EUR-AM-CO: Europe-America-Company) was adopted to express that
transatlantic commitment. Europe was never envisioned as merely an export market. It became
part of the company’s name and as a core pillar of the company’s permanent identity.

Products and markets served
RAMFAN equipment includes gas, electric, water-powered and battery-powered PPV fans for
structural firefighting; confined-space blowers and ducting; and ATEX- and IECEx-certified
explosion-proof blowers. The hazardous area range is certified to II 2 G Ex db eb IIB T6 Gb for
Zone 1 and 2 gas atmospheres. Users include offshore oil and gas producers, petrochemical
plants, utilities, shipyards and aircraft maintenance teams, who use RAMFAN fuel-tank
ventilation kits. Explosion-proof lighting is omitted here (public sources show Wolf Safety
lighting via the UK distributor, not a Euramco brand). Euramco Group’s other brands are Kraken
Power (power generation, storage and conversion), NOMAD (portable and vehicle-mounted
pumps) and PRO//connect (controls and connectivity).

Commitment to European customers
“Europe has been part of our story for a quarter of a century. Our customers here work where
the air can be toxic, flammable or full of smoke. They need equipment that is certified,
dependable and supported locally. We are grateful to the fire services, energy companies and
distribution partners who have worked with us, and we intend to keep earning that trust,” said
Zach Allen, Vice President, Euramco Group.

What’s next
Euramco plans to keep developing brushless, battery-powered ventilation and integrated power
systems for European users.
“The next 25 years will be shaped by electrification and stricter safety standards. We will keep
investing in certified equipment and local support, so our European partners have what they
need,” said Zach Allen, Vice President, Euramco Group.

Euramco Group is implementing a new market-focused leadership structure in North America to strengthen its fire and emergency-services business, expand its industrial presence, and prepare for new growth initiatives planned for 2027.

Effective August 1, 2026, Nathan Calabrese has been appointed Sales Director, North America – Fire. Nathan will lead Euramco Group’s North American firefighting market strategy across RAMFAN Fire & Defense ventilation equipment, Kraken Power onboard power systems, NOMAD portable and vehicle-mounted pumps, and PRO//connect controls and connectivity. His responsibilities include channel development, key-account growth, and closer engagement with fire departments, government agencies, apparatus manufacturers, and other fire-service partners.

Jon Kostyzak has been appointed Sales Director, North America – Industrial. Jon will lead Euramco’s industrial and non-fire market strategy across RAMFAN Industrial ventilation equipment, Kraken Power systems, NOMAD pump applications, and PRO//connect technologies. He will focus on expanding the company’s presence in hazardous locations, utilities, specialty rental, manufacturing, marine, infrastructure, and other demanding professional environments.

Allen Hammill has been appointed Manager, OEM Integration & Applications. Allen will support both market groups by working directly with apparatus manufacturers, specialty-vehicle builders, equipment integrators, channel partners, and end users on practical product integration, field applications, and technical training.

“These changes give our fire and industrial markets dedicated leadership while bringing the full capabilities of Euramco Group to each customer segment,” said Zach Allen, Director, Euramco Group. “Nathan and Jon will each own a clearly defined market, supported by the most relevant combination of our brands and technologies. Allen will help translate those capabilities into practical, integrated solutions for customers and OEM partners.”

The strategy also builds upon Euramco’s engineering heritage. When the Allen Family’s first-generation founder established the company in National City, California, following his retirement from the United States Navy in the 1960s, its work centered on shipboard centrifugal pumps and steam turbines. During the 1980s, the second generation leadership applied that fluid-machinery expertise to water-powered turbines, leading to the development of the RAMFAN WF20 damage-control smoke-removal fan.

The WF20, now standard equipment on US and allied Naval fleets worldwide, helped set Euramco on the trajectory for which it is best known today: engineering high-performance axial-flow ventilation equipment for firefighting positive-pressure ventilation, hazardous-area operations, confined-space safety, and defense applications.

That same pump and turbine heritage continues through NOMAD, Euramco’s line of portable and vehicle-mounted pump systems. Following expansion across Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region since 2020, NOMAD is preparing for its next phase of international growth beginning in 2027.

Together, these appointments establish clearer market ownership, stronger field and OEM support, and the organizational foundation for Euramco Group’s next stage of North American growth.
