What Angus Fire does

Angus Fire is a UK-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of firefighting technology founded around 1800, with its head office and main production facility in High Bentham, North Yorkshire, and an international network of laboratories and fire test facilities in the UK, France and the USA. The company sells a comprehensive portfolio covering foam concentrates (including the fluorine-free Respondol ATF and JetFoam ICAO ranges and the legacy Monnex dry chemical powder line), foam proportioning and delivery equipment, monitors/nozzles/cannons, fire hoses (Duraline, Target, Rebel), extinguishers, pumps and STORMforce mobile trailers. Products are certified to international standards including EN, ICAO, NFPA, UL and Lloyds Register, and the F3 foam line carries GreenScreen Certified Silver.

Angus Fire serves six primary end markets — industrial, aviation, military, marine, fire and rescue, and petrochemical/oil and gas — with named blue-chip customers including BASF, BP, Dow, Exxon and Shell alongside UK government fire services (Hampshire, London, Scottish Fire). The company operates a B2B enterprise sales motion through an unrivalled worldwide distributor network covering more than 100 countries, supplemented by in-house engineering teams that deliver bespoke system design, project management, installation, commissioning and maintenance. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (foam concentrates, equipment, hoses, monitors, extinguishers, trailers) and professional services for custom fire protection systems; pricing is quote-based with no public list.

Strategically, Angus Fire executed a major regulatory-driven portfolio pivot in 2024 when it ceased legal production of PFAS-containing firefighting foam after nearly 50 years and accelerated its fluorine-free (F3) conversion programme, supported by a dedicated F3 Conversion service, GreenScreen certification and engineering calculators (HoseCalc, FoamCalc). The same period saw the launch of the STORMforce mobile trailer family, expanding its addressable surface into deployable firefighting. The company also owns the Angus Flexible Pipelines subsidiary for industrial hose products and is led by CEO Paul Williams. A PFAS blood-contamination investigation linked to the Bentham plant is an active reputational and regulatory exposure.
