2025 in Review: Innovation, Growth, and Connections
As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to take a minute to look back on what made this such a milestone for HAIX North America. From major product launches to coast-to-coast trade shows—and meaningful growth within our team—2025 was a year of momentum, innovation, and connection.
Product Launches
The biggest news of 2025 was undoubtedly the launch of Rescue Xtreme, our most advanced HAZMAT boot to date. Designed for HAZMAT and EMS professionals, Rescue Xtreme delivers unmatched protection with a revolutionary EXTRAGUARD outer, a waterproof CROSSTECH® liner, and a comfortable full and half size run. The result is mission-ready performance without compromising fit, comfort, or support.
We also expanded our EMS lineup with the launch of the Airpower® XR2 PT, now featuring a polishable toe. Built for officers who demand both protection and a professional appearance, the XR2 PT makes it easier than ever to stay uniform-compliant while benefiting from HAIX comfort and durability.
Trade Shows
In 2025, the HAIX North America team traveled across the United States and Canada, connecting face-to-face with customers, distributors, and industry professionals.
Some of our biggest appearances included: SHOT Show in Las Vegas, FDIC International in Indianapolis, and TCIA Expo in St. Louis. These events gave us the opportunity to share new products, gather real-world feedback, and strengthen relationships across the industries we serve.
New Sales People and Promotions
This year also marked significant growth within our sales organization. We welcomed seven new sales team members, expanding our coverage from Hawaii and California to Canada and New England. Their expertise and energy are helping us better serve customers across North America. You can meet the newest members of the HAIX team on our LinkedIn page.
We’re also proud to celebrate Kerstin Koehler’s promotion to Vice President of HAIX North America. Her leadership, vision, and dedication have played a key role in our continued growth, and we’re excited for what’s ahead under her guidance.
Looking Ahead
As we close out 2025, we want to thank our customers, partners, and team members for being part of another successful year. We’re proud of what we accomplished together—and even more excited for what’s coming next.
Here’s to continuing the mission in 2026.
