WHY WE STOCK ITWe test everything on the market against our own standard. Tecmen has passed that test for over 10 years.

Every Tecmen product Euromarc supplies is tested against the same standard as everything else we stock — that’s an ongoing commitment, not a one-off check, and Tecmen keeps meeting it. It’s also independently certified, so it’s not just Euromarc’s word being taken on trust.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

“With our annual health testing, we’ve got objective evidence since using the TECMEN PAPR, of increased lung function in several staff.”

MetalCraft Engineering, Christchurch (30+ years, architectural metalwork and fabrication)

“Before this helmet I was using just the basic Millar helmet with the 3M respirator mask. Since Euromarc came in and gave us a tester it opened my eyes up to what this helmet can do and how much fumes it can stop you from breathing in. That’s why I really wanted to buy one of these helmets.”

Raymond, Welder/Fabricator, Betteridge Engineering, Wellington (bought 5 units for the team)

“Traditionally we’ve gone with Speedglas™, and we’ve never had any problems with them, so I was fascinated to see if the Tecmen really could compete considering the cost savings… You see something cheaper, and expect the performance to be less, but the Tecmen – we couldn’t fault it… with the cost savings in both the unit itself, and the consumables, the decision is a bit of a no-brainer.”

Brendon Frew (owner) and Reuben Haigh (engineering), Frewza Boats, Invercargill

“It’s terrific! I find it has more clarity than my old Speedglas™ helmet or my Sentinel helmet ..and I thought they were good! Having the view with the side lenses helps you know when someone is close by, and just having the extra clarity has improved my welds even more. The airflow is awesome, really happy with the way it travels over my face. The best thing so far is the filters.”
