Aurora

Aurora Overview

Aurora is recognized as Australia’s leading supplier of recreational distress signals, a legacy that traces back to the late 1800s when the company operated as the Phoenix Fireworks Company, specializing in fireworks and marine pyrotechnics. This deep history later involved a long-standing relationship with James Pain and Sons, culminating in a joint venture in 1970 under the name Pains Wessex (Australia) Pty Ltd. The Aurora brand was officially introduced in the early 2000s when the Aurora MK1 Handflare replaced the Pains Wessex Mk3 Red Handflare in the Australian market. Today, Aurora’s reliable and high-quality range of distress signals are the brand of choice for almost the entire Australian recreational market, trusted as proven life-saving devices.
