What Bridgehill does

Bridgehill is a Norwegian manufacturer of high-performance fire containment solutions, founded in 2014 by Frank Brubakken in the aftermath of the Lærdal fire that destroyed 40 historic buildings. The company designs and sells reusable fire blankets for electric vehicles, combustion vehicles, forklifts, lithium-ion batteries, urban e-mobility devices, and structural wildfire/ember protection, plus the FireBlock intumescent roof membrane for rooftop solar installations. Its technology stack centers on proprietary materials science: the BridgeTech™ polymer coating applied to both sides of the textile, a graphite-core Car Pro X blanket rated to ±2,500°C and reusable up to 30 times, a six-layer Pyroxene Extreme Series blanket, and an intumescent fire-resistant sandwich membrane that activates under extreme heat and additionally delivers a measured albedo benefit of 6.1% annual energy yield for bifacial PV modules.

Bridgehill sells exclusively B2B through a quote-based, direct enterprise field sales motion supported by regional distribution partners and dedicated partner portals for Europe/Middle East/Africa/Asia-Pacific and North America. Named distributors include Distreo (Romania), Yone Corporation (Japan), and FMS INCENDIE (France), with additional market coverage into LATAM. Customers span fire departments and emergency services, automotive workshops and fleet operators, maritime and RoRo vessel operators, warehousing and logistics hubs, and commercial rooftop solar installers/EPCs. Pricing is not publicly listed; the FireBlock launch uses volume-tiered launch discounts (10-20%) ahead of the July 2026 cutoff, and all other products are quoted via a Request a Quote flow routed through named advisors. The company is founder-controlled, has no disclosed external funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and has accumulated independent certifications including DIN SPEC 91489, EN 13501-5 Broof (t2) and (t4), EN 13501-1 A1, NFPA 701:2019, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• CellBlock FCS: US-based manufacturer of battery fire containment and fire suppression systems for lithium-ion batteries. Comparable as a direct peer in lithium-battery fire safety, serving similar data center, EV, and energy storage customers with complementary containment technologies.
• Fire Isolator: Norwegian direct competitor that also developed EV fire blankets in response to the same Norwegian EV fire incidents. Closest head-to-head peer given overlapping product category (EV fire containment), Norwegian origin, and similar customer base of fire services and automotive facilities.
• Dafo Vehicle Fire Protection: Swedish manufacturer of vehicle fire suppression systems and fire blankets for cars, buses, and industrial vehicles. Comparable as a direct peer in automotive/vehicle fire containment, with broader suppression-system portfolio but overlapping blanket products.

Emerging players

• Roxtec: Swedish manufacturer of cable and pipe sealing systems with strong firestop and passive fire protection applications. Comparable Nordic peer in engineered sealing/firestop products, primarily overlapping with Bridgehill's FireBlock membrane in building envelope and rooftop protection use cases.
• E-blox: European maker of EV fire containment blankets and lithium-battery isolation products. Comparable emerging peer in the same EV fire-blanket category, with overlapping end markets (workshops, parking, charging stations) and a smaller geographic footprint than Bridgehill.
• Tenmat: Manufacturer of passive fire protection components including intumescent materials and fire-rated enclosures. Comparable emerging peer in intumescent and fire-protection component technology, with adjacency to FireBlock's intumescent membrane approach though focused on different sub-applications.

Others

• Bulldog Fire Blankets: Manufacturer of consumer and small-vehicle fire blankets sold primarily through retail and online channels. Adjacent peer in fire blanket products but positioned for consumer/small-format use cases rather than Bridgehill's enterprise/EV/industrial focus.

Broad incumbents

• Hilti: Global construction-technology leader with a substantial firestop and passive fire protection portfolio sold through direct enterprise sales. Comparable broad incumbent in passive fire protection; overlaps in building/facility fire safety procurement but does not specialize in vehicle or lithium-blanket products.
• Promat: Specialist in passive fire protection boards, sprays, and systems for the construction sector. Comparable broad incumbent in passive fire protection with overlapping building-product certifications; Promat focuses on structural fire protection rather than textile blankets.
• 3M: Global diversified manufacturer with a fire protection and safety products portfolio including firestop systems and barrier products. Comparable broad incumbent serving overlapping facility-protection customers through established global distribution, though 3M does not focus on EV or lithium-blanket solutions.
