Fireworks are supposed to be fun, and with the right handling, they are. It is therefore important to be prudent and act responsibly in terms of one’s own health and that of others. Fireworks are our passion. So that all fireworks enthusiasts can share this passion without accidents, we have a particularly high transparency requirement and act as advisors. We advocate personal responsibility, but do not leave society to deal with fireworks on its own: in our role, we educate people about our products and give advice on how to use them safely. Handling fireworks requires a certain maturity and responsibility.
