Lakeland LHD, a subsidiary of Lakeland Industries Inc. based in Huntsville, has been awarded a $5.6 million three-year contract to provide advanced decontamination, managed care and maintenance services for the Hong Kong Fire Services Department’s firefighter protective gear.
With more than 11,000 uniformed and civilian personnel across 83 fire stations and additional facilities, HKFSD is one of the largest emergency response organizations in Asia, according to Lakeland. Lakeland has been providing protective gear and maintenance solutions through its operations in Australia and Hong Kong for more than 20 years. It has had a relationship with HKFSD since 2011.
The contract, running through 2028, covers advanced decontamination services, comprehensive care and maintenance of an estimated 14,500 firefighter ensembles each year.
“This award underscores Lakeland’s strong presence in the Asia Pacific market and reinforces the trust placed in our services by one of the region’s most respected fire services organizations,” said Jim Jenkins, president and CEO of Lakeland Industries. “LHD earned this competitive contract on the strength of its LHD Care System, which provides an all-encompassing service ensuring the provision of equipment and operational readiness of fire services.”
Jenkins added, “The contract further highlights the significant potential of the Asian market, where we have continued to make inroads, with sales of $3.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, representing 7% of our revenue. As we fortify our position as a premier global fire brand, we are investing resources in high-growth geographies like Asia and optimizing operations and sales channels to capture additional market share.”
