Twelve police officers and firefighters who represented Geneva at the recent World Police and Fire Games in Australia wore uniforms printed with the DuPont® Kevlar® logo.

Held once every two years, the World Police and Fire Games is the second largest international sporting event, attracting about 10,000 participants from 60 countries who compete in police- and firefighting-themed events.

“It is an honor for DuPont to sponsor this particular team since Geneva hosts our regional headquarters,” said Jeroen Jacobs, leader, DuPont™ Kevlar® Life Protection, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).

"First responders are protected every day by our DuPont™ Nomex® and Kevlar® high performance fibers," said Nicolas Cudré-Mauroux, business director, DuPont Advanced Fiber Systems and DuPont Personal Protection, EMEA.
