DEUS

DEUS Rescue, established in 2004, operates as a specialized manufacturer of controlled descent devices and vertical safety equipment. The company was founded by a team with deep, hands-on experience, including engineers, safety professionals, firefighters, and mountaineers, to address critical safety gaps for individuals working and playing at height. A significant milestone occurred in 2012 when DEUS Rescue acquired its German joint venture partner, VR-Tec GmbH, which had been instrumental in designing and manufacturing the company's core 3000 and 7000 series devices since 2008. This acquisition provided DEUS with direct oversight of its manufacturing and engineering, strengthening its global position. In 2013, the company entered a major distribution agreement with 3M's Personal Safety Division, expanding its market reach significantly.

The firm's business centers on designing, manufacturing, and selling highly-engineered vertical rescue systems, fall protection products, and related accessories. Its client base is diverse, serving professionals in demanding fields such as fire and rescue services, military and law enforcement, and various industrial sectors including wind energy, telecommunications, and oil and gas. Revenue is generated through the sale of its products, which are distributed worldwide, partly through strategic partnerships like the one with 3M.

DEUS Rescue's core product offering is its line of controlled descent devices, built around the company's proprietary DEUSSafeDescent™ and SafeDescent™ Technology. A key product is the DEUS 3700 device, which is certified to ANSI, CSA, and EN standards and designed for descents from heights up to 590 feet (180 m). This device features quadruple-redundant brakes, automatic speed-limiting technology to prevent free-fall, and allows for hands-free operation. A distinguishing characteristic is its bidirectional functionality, which enables multiple people to evacuate sequentially without re-rigging the device. The company offers complete, easy-to-deploy kits, such as the IE37 Industrial Escape Kit and firefighter-specific bailout kits, which bundle the descent device with specialized ropes, anchors, and harnesses like the DEUS X Class line.
