Interschutz 2026 once again proved to be a leading global event, welcoming over 140,000 visitors from 144 countries. At Holmatro, we look back at a successful exhibition. At our large inside booth, we showcased our latest innovations. And the Holmatro Rescue Challenge was a great learning event for both participants and viewers.
