10 YEARS CELEBRATION OF PROFILE'S FACTORY IN HUNGARY
– Starting off the year of celebrations –
Location: BUDAPEST – KISTARCSA, Hungary
Personnel: 83 professionals
Factory capacity : 250 vehicles yearly
Ten years ago, a man named Márton László called to the former CEO Marko Repo to inform that the Hungary’s Government First Aid Services, OMSZ, will have a tender coming up for around 200 ambulances. Repo realized the real potential in this and after thorough research and skilful negotiations, Profile won the tender and quickly started the ambulance production in Budapest. With the help of László, Profile was able to create a strong and trustworthy relationship with OMSZ and has been delivering all their ambulances ever since.
In addition, during these ten years Hungary’s factory has become crucial part of the Profile Vehicles group, producing most of the Profile Vehicles ambulances and special vehicles for the European markets. All the Profile units work closely together, over the country borders. This enables easy flow of the knowhow and guarantees the Group can improve continuously its processes in each Group unit.

The certification from Volkswagen helps Profile to stand out from its competitors and to find the best available resources for product development and sales.
Nordic Sales Manager, Ville Väyrynen sees a great value in receiving the PremiumPartner certification. “We are proud to be representing Volkswagen and are committed to stay at the top of the latest technology and continuously improve our skill set. Renewal of the PremiumPartner certificate proves how Profile is committed to meet the high standards of Volkswagen and other chassis manufacturers in the long term and customer can trust to receive the best quality in the market.”
A great example of this successful collaboration between Volkswagen and Profile Vehicles, was an order and delivery of over hundred Profile Progrez ambulances for a Danish customer . These Progrez ambulances were manufactured on Volkswagen Crafter chassis. ” This shows our customers are happy with what they see and trust on the high-quality standards Volkswagen and Profile represents”. Väyrynen sums up.
Volkswagen Premium Partners are required to undergo regular, stringent converter audits to ensure the quality of the products available, as well as deliver minimum type approval certification for each conversion meaning all converted vehicles will feature the same aftersales support received by the brand’s standard vehicles.

På 90-talet började företaget använda innovativa ambulansmoduler i produktionen och den mest kända detaljen var det special designade “Profile” taket. Enligt kunder skapade detta ett nytt sätt att forma- och framta ambulanser. Det var så Profile Vehicles fick sitt namn.
Vi söker nu en ambitiös Area Manager som trivs i en internationell miljö och vill vara med och driva och utveckla vår svenska verksamhet inom specialfordon.

DecoEco BlueLight has revolutionised ambulance patient compartment cleaning!
SUOMEKSI TÄSTÄ
Hygiene in the patient areas of ambulances is very important, both for patient and occupational safety. During the company’s 40-year history, one of the main focuses in ambulance designs has been the patient compartments hygiene. As a result from this, the DecoEco BlueLight decontamination system was developed to revolutionise the cleaning of work areas in patient compartment. DecoEco BlueLight integrates with the lighting in the treatment room and is extremely easy and effortless to use via the eCAN canbus system.
Profile DecoEco BlueLight is a pioneer in the field of cleaning solutions for ambulances and, especially now with virus like corona-19, this is even more important. The BlueLight system has been developed in collaboration with LedTailor, which provides blue light solutions for example for hospital operating theatres. This innovative solution is extremely safe to use and helps to ensure maximum cleanliness in a busy everyday life.
Safe and effective
As shown in the diagram, regular use of BlueLight effectively prevents the spread of bacteria and viruses, keeping their numbers consistently low. The system switches on automatically when the ambulance is not in use, effectively preventing the growth of bacterial strains, among other things. The system also requires no regular maintenance, making it highly cost-effective. The addition of a Nano coating to ambulance treatment rooms speeds up decontamination process of the patient compartment, which enables increase in ambulance occupancy rates.
BlueLight is proven to be effective against E-coli bacteria and significantly reduces the microbial count in as little as half an hour. Similar results have been achieved against SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A. More information and detailed results can be found here.
The DecoEco BlueLight decontamination system is starting to be standard for many customers with their new Profile ambulances, as the benefits speak for themselves. The system is hassle-free to use and increases both occupational and patient safety when used regularly. When the system prevents the first sickness absence or the spread of hospital germs, the system has already paid for itself. The cleaning method is safe for the user as the light is UV-free and no additional chemicals are needed. The DecoEco BlueLight has been widely praised by customers and it is a product that is firmly believed in at the company. The DecoEco BLueLight system is also easy to retrofit.
If you would like to know more about the BlueLight surface disinfection solution, please contact Santtu Keto (+358 40 716 9525 / santtu.keto@profilevehicles.com) who will gladly give you more information regarding benefits of BlueLight system.
