EAM Worldwide, also known as Eastern Aero Marine, the manufacturer of life vests, life rafts, and survival kits will display its latest slide prototype; the EAM Off-Wing (OW-320F), at the Aircraft Interior’s Expo 2014 in Hamburg, Germany. The Off-Wing slide is the latest addition to the EAM product portfolio. EAM debuted its Escape Slide (ES-320F) at AIX 2013, announcing its entrance into the evacuation slide market. The EAM OW-320F and the EAM ES-320F, fit the specifications of the A320 aircraft family and are designed and tested to meet FAA TSO-C69c.

Brennan in Singapore; Ingeniería Semasa in Madrid, Spain; and ABL S.R.L., located in Rome, Italy.
