Special Effects

Explosions, bullets, fires, explosions: All these terms are associated with spectacular special effects. But demonstrations and simulations with a serious scientific background are also part of our work.

Pyrotechnical special effects make action scenes in film and television or big explosions on an open-air stage really spectacular. From dust explosions to petrol bombs to realistic explosions of explosives, everything is part of our service. We develop and test the effects tailor-made according to your specifications.
We also have many years of experience in the field of pyrotechnical developments for science shows. For example, you can taste the ultra-fast produced chips from our black powder potato gun…
