About Us
LEAK-AWAY™ is a brand of MFC International
MFC International are a specialist manufacturer of inflatable rescue, recovery, survival and sewer maintenance equipment based in Tonypandy, South Wales. Our equipment is used by fire brigades, mountain and lowland rescue, utilities, the military and humanitarian support organisations internationally and we have earned an unrivalled reputation for our product quality, durability and performance.
Founded in 1959 at the old Naval Colliery site in Tonypandy, the company (then called MFC Survival) started by manufacturing life jackets and life rafts for the Royal Navy and South Wales commercial shipping ports. Over time the focus shifted towards the design and manufacture of specialist inflatable products for the defence and rescue industries.
MFC boasts an impressive history of innovation; we were the original inventor of airlift bags, the first to manufacture aircraft recovery bags and one of the first to introduce inflatable shelters.
Acquired by Respirex in 2013, MFC has continued to innovate and significant investment has been made into the manufacturing facility. MFC now produce a broad range of product in-house incorporating a diverse range of technologies - these include:
• HF and hot-air welding for shelters and inflatable water rescue equipment
• Vulcanising presses for high-pressure lifting bags
• Autoclave vulcanisation for no-dig sewer repair products
• Vulcanisation of neoprene material for pillow packers and low-pressure lifting bags
These are combined with 60 years of experience in the manufacture of traditional glued neoprene products to offer an unrivalled range of high-performance inflatable rescue equipment.
