MFC International are a specialist manufacturer of inflatable rescue, recovery, and survival equipment based in Tonypandy, South Wales. Our equipment is used by fire brigades, mountain and lowland rescue, utilities, the military and humanitarian support organisations internationally and we have earned an unrivalled reputation for our product quality, durability and performance.

Founded in 1959 at the old Naval Colliery site in Tonypandy, the company (then called MFC Survival) started by manufacturing life jackets and life rafts for the Royal Navy and South Wales commercial shipping ports. Over time the focus shifted towards the design and manufacture of specialist inflatable products for the defence and rescue industries.

MFC International inflatable water rescue equipment, high and low pressure lifting bags, decontamination systems, and emergency response shelters are all proudly manufactured in the UK. This commitment to UK manufacturing ensures we maintain the highest standards of quality control, craftsmanship, and reliability in every product we produce.

The RS series Rescue Sleds are flood water rescue craft for inshore crisis rescues and flooded urban and coastal areas. The Rescue Sled is available in five standard sizes 3, 5, 6, 10 & 15 person. The 3, 5 & 6 person sleds are ideal for swift-water and narrow access rescue.

The 10 & 15 person sleds are wider with a larger floor area and corresponding load capacity and are more suited for emergency evacuation situations.
