What EmiControls does

EmiControls GmbH/S.r.l. is a Bolzano, Italy-based industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2011, specializing in water mist technology for firefighting, dust suppression, and odor control. The company's product portfolio includes stationary firefighting turbines (FT40, FT10e), mobile firefighting robots (TAF35, TAF60, TAF60X), a range of dust suppression machines (V7, V12s, V22, V22Orca, L3, H2 System), an odor control unit (V12so), an EV fire containment container (Q-Container), and the CURTpro management software for system monitoring. The underlying technology atomizes water into fine droplets to maximize surface area, enabling greater projection distance (>50m versus an industry standard of 15-20m) and effective particulate capture for dust control applications.

The company sells through direct enterprise field sales from its Bolzano headquarters complemented by a global dealer network and regional implementation partners, including ZEWITECH (Austria), GROMA 247 (Austria distribution), and TechnoAlpin (France service). Core technology integrations include Orglmeister PYROsmart infrared detection and FireDos foam proportioning systems, enabling delivery of complete fire suppression installations rather than standalone hardware. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, complete plant installations, and recurring aftersales service with worldwide spare parts delivery; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has 11-50 employees and a registered capital of Euro 10,000 (a statutory minimum for the Italian GmbH/S.r.l. legal form).

Named enterprise customers span waste management (ZUMA Wien), chemicals (Chemische Fabrik Karl Bucher), paper and packaging (Smurfit Westrock), power utilities (State Grid Corporation of China), mining (Teck Coal), steel (Russian Steel Plant), and government fire services (Nanchang Fire Brigade), with deployments across Europe, China, Russia, and Canada. The Chairman is Martin Eppacher. The company has not publicly disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or detailed headcount figures.

Core offering

EmiControls designs, manufactures and sells water-mist-based industrial equipment for fire protection, dust suppression and odor control. Its portfolio includes stationary firefighting turbines (FT40, FT10e), remote-controlled tracked firefighting robots (TAF35, TAF60, TAF60X), trailer- and truck-mounted turbines (FT60h/FT60hX), a family of dust controllers (V7, V12s, V22, V22Orca, L3, H2 System), the V12so odor controller, the Q-Container for e-mobility fire containment, and the CURTpro management software for dust installations.

Product overview

EmiControls offers a comprehensive portfolio of water mist-based solutions for firefighting, dust suppression, and odor control. The product range includes stationary firefighting turbines (FT40, FT10e), mobile firefighting robots (TAF35, TAF60/TAF60X), trailer-mounted units (FT60h/FT60hX), and dust controllers (V22Orca, V22, V12s, V7, L3, H2 System), complemented by the CURTpro management software and Q-Container e-mobility fire protection. The common denominator across all solutions is water mist technology, where atomized water droplets create larger surface area for improved fire cooling and dust particle capture. Products range from fixed installations for industrial facilities to mobile units for emergency response.

• Magirus (CNH Industrial / Iveco): German fire apparatus and truck manufacturer under Iveco. Comparable to EmiControls in industrial fire response equipment but with a much broader vehicle and municipal firefighting portfolio.
• Minimax: German fire protection company offering broad fire suppression solutions (sprinkler, foam, gas, water mist). Overlaps with EmiControls in industrial fire protection but operates at much greater scale across a wider product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Siron Fire Protection: Israeli/European developer of compressed air foam and water-mist fire suppression technologies. Comparable to EmiControls in special hazard suppression using fine water droplet technology.
