STIF is a leading international manufacturer specializing in fire and explosion safety products for industrial applications. With decades of experience, the Group is recognized for its expertise, reliability, and capacity to innovate in protecting industrial processes, equipment, and personnel in high-risk environments.
Founded in France in 1984, STIF initially developed its business in the bulk material handling market, supplying key equipment such as elevator buckets, belts, pneumatic couplings and pipe systems. Building on this solid industrial foundation, the Group progressively expanded into passive explosion protection systems for combustible dust environments.
Passive protection, which is STIF’s historical core business, focuses on limiting the effects of an explosion by protecting installations and operators. To further strengthen its capabilities, STIF integrated STUVEX, a Belgian specialist in active explosion protection technologies. This complementary expertise enables the Group to act at an earlier stage by detecting and suppressing explosions before they develop.
Today, STIF and STUVEX provide a complete and integrated range of solutions, including:
-
- Explosion venting
- Explosion suppression
- Explosion isolation
- Spark detection and fire extinguishing systems
- Cobra grounding systems.
This comprehensive approach covers the entire explosion risk management cycle: prevention, detection, isolation, and mitigation.
These solutions are designed for demanding industries such as food processing, grain handling, chemicals, and wood processing, where safety is critical.
With an international presence and production facilities across several regions, STIF supports its customers worldwide with reliable, certified, and tailored solutions. Driven by innovation and industrial excellence, the Group continues to strengthen its leadership in fire and explosion safety while improving safety and operational performance.
