Aguilera Group

What Aguilera Group does

Aguilera Group is a Spain-based, privately-held fire protection systems provider founded in 1978, headquartered in San Fernando de Henares, Madrid. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies integrated fire detection and extinguishing solutions under the Aguilera, EasyDetect, TITANUS, Microaqua, Aedetec, Europa, and LISTEC brands. Its portfolio covers addressable (algorithmic) and conventional detection control panels, infrared beam smoke detection (DLF150), aspirating smoke detection (TITANUS FUSION, up to 3,200 m² coverage), linear heat detection (LISTEC, VdS-certified under EN 54-22), gas and CO2 detection, and suppression systems spanning FK-5-1-12, IG-55 inert gas, CO2, water mist, and kitchen-specific agents. Centralized supervision is delivered through the EUROPA IV SCADA platform, which integrates EasyDetect analog and Aguilera algorithmic panels and interfaces with OPTIMUS and LDA Audio Tech PA/VA systems under EN 54-13. The offering is backed by EN 54 certification across all relevant sub-standards and a registered installer status (RII-AEE:2010).

The company's go-to-market combines enterprise project-based sales through six Spanish regional delegations and a 18+ country international distributor network with a direct e-commerce channel (tienda.aguilera.es). Reference customers include Hospital Dr. Negrín, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Palacio de Justicia de Segovia, Laboratorios VIRALGEN (gene therapy), ISBAN/Santander, Teatros Coliseum y Lope de Vega, Le Ciment du Sahel, and Centro Comercial Buenavista, spanning healthcare, education, government, commercial real estate, entertainment, biotech, telecommunications, and industrial segments. Revenue is generated from hardware sales (detectors, panels, suppression components), system design and integration services, post-warranty technical support and spare parts, and technical training delivered at the San Fernando de Henares headquarters. Pricing is split between unit-priced e-commerce transactions and quote-based project configurations, with a two-year equipment warranty.

In October 2024, Aguilera Electrónica and Aguilera Extinció​n were acquired by Groupe DEF (Réseau DEF), joining a European network of more than 50 companies and 11 factories, ending nearly fifty years of independent operation while retaining the operational identity and regional delegation structure. The group has subsequently invested in new headquarters, a dedicated training and showroom facility, and a continuous product-launch cadence across the EasyDetect sub-brand and the EUROPA IV platform.

Core offering

Aguilera Group designs, manufactures, and distributes fire detection and extinguishing systems for buildings and industrial facilities. Its portfolio spans proprietary algorithmic (addressable) and conventional detection panels, linear beam and aspirating smoke detectors, linear heat detection cable, gas detection, and clean-agent, water-mist, CO2, and inert-gas suppression systems, integrated through the EUROPA IV control station platform. The company operates as a single supplier collaborating with engineering and installation companies across the full project lifecycle.

Product overview

Aguilera Group operates as a comprehensive fire protection solutions provider, offering an integrated portfolio of fire detection and suppression products organized around two primary technology lines: the proprietary Sistema Algorítmico (algorithmic/addressable detection system) and the Sistema Convencional (conventional detection), complemented by the EasyDetect sub-brand for analog detection products. The detection portfolio spans algorithmic and conventional control panels, linear beam smoke detection (DLF150), air sampling smoke detection (TITANUS®FUSIÓN), linear heat detection (LISTEC), gas detection, and standalone autonomous devices. Suppression offerings include water mist (Microaqua), inert gas IG-55 (Argonaex), CO2, FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230/MH5112), and kitchen suppression systems, supported by Aedetec for server room applications. Centralized management is handled by the EUROPA IV and Puesto de Control Europa software platforms. Integration interfaces (AE/SA-IOPT, AE/SA-ILDA) connect Aguilera's systems with OPTIMUS and LDA Audio Tech voice evacuation platforms, while GPIP modules enable remote monitoring via alarm receiving centers and the Siscom App. Products are available through the online Tienda Aguilera e-commerce platform and a network of Spanish and international distributors.
