Heald partners with German distribution associate, truckBloc

Heald, a world-class innovator in the field of perimeter security technology and the largest manufacturer of quality security equipment in the UK, along with its German security manufacturer and distribution partner truckBloc, has secured one of Germany’s leading Christmas Markets in the city of Mainz.

Following a number of vehicle attacks including the terrorist attack on the Breitscheid Platz Christmas Market in 2016 in which 12 people lost their lives and an additional 50 were injured, along with a drunk driver killing 5 and injuring 15 others in the city of Trier in 2020, German officials have been ensuring measures are put in place to reassure and protect visitors.

Working in partnership with Germany based truckBloc, Heald has provided two of its surface mount mechanical Matador 4’s to complement truckBloc’s tB18 fixed barriers. The Matador 4 is a sliding bollard solution that can be opened to allow access to service, delivery and emergency response vehicles.
