International Fire Buyer Announces IWMA Partnership

International Fire Buyer Magazine is delighted to announce its official partnership with the International Water Mist Association (IWMA) for the upcoming Fire Buyer Awards.

The IWMA will oversee the Fire Suppression category for the virtual awards programme, which is dedicated to recognising, upholding, and celebrating the achievements of those at the cutting edge of the global fire industry.

This partnership comes at a fitting time, with the International Water Mist Conference (IWMC) taking place next week in Manchester, UK.

The IWMA is the world’s leading association focused exclusively on water mist firefighting and related technologies. Its involvement not only strengthens the credibility of the Fire Buyer Awards but also underlines the technical integrity and sector-wide relevance of the categories.

The IWMA’s role extends beyond an awards partnership. Dirk Sprakel, Vice Chairman of the IWMA and Chairman of the Board at FOGTEC Fire Protection, will also serve as a member of the official judging panel for this year’s event.

Entries for the Fire Buyer Judges’ Awards are now open and free to submit: https://staging.firebuyer.com/fire-buyer-international-awards
