      Fire protection curtains

      Fire protection curtains are seal openings in walls and ceilings in case of fire. The constructional set-up (rolling- or folding technology) and the use of different fabrics offer a wide application spectrum as well as different protection targets or classifications and time classes. Casings and side guides of those flexible applicable systems are integrated almost invisibly in the building and provide much scope for design of sophisticated architecture for opened designs.

    • Conveyor system closures

      Conveyor system closures

      Manifold production - and logisitc processes require different construction types of conveying systems. If the haulage drifts are passing through fire-retarding resp. fire-resisting walls or ceilings, the necessary openings must be provided with fire protection closures to avoid the expansion of the fire by conveyor technique or by conveyed material. In case of fire the conveyor system closures have to seal those openings immediately and automatically. Thereby a classified fire resistance as well as the smoothly clearing of the closing area must be respected in case of release.

    • Smoke curtains

      Smoke curtains

      A smoke curtain is part of unit keeping areas free from smoke and may include building parts like natural smoke and heat venting systems and automatic smoke and heat venting systems. Smoke curtains restrict the movement of fire gases inside a building in case of fire.

    • Smoke protection closures

      Smoke protection closures

      In closed condition smoke protection closures restrict the passage of smoke in the phase of fire formation so as to enable the rescue of people, animals or materials assets in case of a fire in the room positioned behind it without the need of breathing protection.

    • Tube sealings

      Tube sealings

      The solution to problems with fire protection dampers for ventilation and air conditioning systems in conveying processes. Stöbich offers fire protection for pneumatic conveying lines where the closing elements are not exposed to the flow. Thus, damage or contamination of the closure element is avoided by abrasive conveyed goods.

    • Controls

      Controls

      Control systems are necessary for all automatic fire protection systems! They are safety-relevant, because without their function or in the event of a malfunction, the entire investment of a fire protection partition would be useless. Controllers coordinate both fire detection and the interaction with other controls, like superordinate building control or the retraction of the closing area at conveyor closing area.

      Médiathèque Charles Nègre | Grasse, France

      The Médiathèque Charles Nègre in Grasse, France, is an impressive example of contemporary architecture that reflects the cultural and historical importance of the region. The information center with space for education, culture and encounters was opened in 2011 and designed by the renowned French architecture firm Marc Barani. The building combines modern aesthetics with the traditional architecture of Provence, creating a harmonious link between old and new, for example by combining modern materials such as glass and steel with local natural stone. The generous window fronts create an atmosphere flooded with light. Ecological sustainability is achieved through natural ventilation and the resulting reduction in energy consumption; green spaces are also integrated on various levels. Our <a href="/us/solutions/fire-protection-curtains/stoebich-fire-smoke-curtain-hc"><b>➥ horizontal Fire and smoke curtain hc</b></a> fire protection curtains fit perfectly into this marvel of contemporary architecture. They securely close the ceiling openings in the event of a fire, but otherwise remain invisible and let in plenty of light and air. Copyright attribution: © Ivry Serres

Why we are the global market leader

Why we are the global market leader

STÖBICH Brandschutz has been listed in the lexicon of German world market leaders since 2010. What does this mean in concrete terms?

Our more than 40-year company history is based on the many product ideas and developments of our company founder Dr.-Ing. Jochen Stöbich, e.g. the first fire protection closure for continuous conveyor technology or the first textile fire protection solutions. From a one-man business to an internationally active group of companies with an official listing as world market leader - that is the STÖBICH success story.
The background to the ranking is explained in more detail here.

The organization
Die Deutsche Wirtschaft (DDW) is the open information network of German managing directors, company owners and thought leaders. The main focus is on the approximately 250,000 shareholders and managing directors of the 35,000 largest companies in Germany (turnover of approx. 5 million euros or more). Together with Florian Langenscheidt and Bernd Venohr, DDW publishes the Lexicon of German World Market Leaders. It includes global stars such as Volkswagen as well as hidden champions, including STÖBICH.

The ranking
With the scientific support of Professor Dr. Bernd Venohr, the world market leaders - currently 1,495 - are determined according to strict criteria in an in-depth analysis. Thanks to our strong export performance, corporate management "made in Germany" and global niche dominance, STÖBICH has been included in the lexicon of German world market leaders. STÖBICH is currently ranked 1,122nd, a position that we have not bought, but rather earned as an innovative medium-sized company. And when you consider that we are a hidden champion, we can be all the more proud of our title.

What is a hidden champion?
Unknown and yet successful worldwide - this is how you can describe the term "hidden champion". Hidden champions are not recognized by the general public, as they are usually only found in a niche market. In our case, this is structural fire protection: our systems are installed all over the world, whether in the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Apple Park in Silicon Valley. What hardly anyone knows is that almost half of the 3,000 or so hidden champions worldwide are based in Germany.

The "German Global Market Leader" seal is regarded as proof of quality and trust in technology and market leadership. We can continue to wear it with pride, as you can read in our ➥ entry.
