SNG are a distributor for the world renowned Hansson Pyrotechnic group of Sweden.

This Pyro has a distinct advantage to its competitors as its time expiry date is 1 year longer than other brands. SNG have secured the capability of holding large amounts of Pyro with the local authorities and the department of justice in our custom built Pyro store.

This gives us the advantage of holding large quantities and classes of Pyro required for the marine and leisure markets. This is also gives us the ability, in co-operation with the department of defence, to dispose of time expired pyro technics. If customers are purchasing new pyro from SNG and have old pyro outside of the Hansson brand we can still provide the disposal service for these.
