The company’s engineering teams work closely with fire service organizations to develop vehicles that address evolving operational challenges, including urban narrow‑street maneuverability and increased payload capacity. In February 2023 Rosenbauer disclosed a cybersecurity incident that led to the precautionary shutdown of parts of its IT infrastructure at all locations; a task force with external forensic experts was formed, and preliminary findings indicated no data theft or encryption, with authorities notified accordingly. The firm’s headquarters remain in Austria, and it maintains a global presence through its international subsidiaries and service network. Rosenbauer’s longstanding reputation in the firefighting sector is built on its combination of traditional craftsmanship and continuous investment in research and development.
