Direct peers

• Dr. Sthamer GmbH: Hamburg-based manufacturer of firefighting foam concentrates (AFFF, FFFP, alcohol-resistant, Class A) and proportioning equipment. Closely comparable specialty foam supplier serving industrial, aviation, and maritime end markets, with a similar transition profile toward fluorine-free formulations.
• BIOEX: French specialist in fluorine-free firefighting foams (ECOPOL, BIOFOAM) for industrial, marine, and aviation applications. Directly comparable as a mid-sized European foam formulator with an explicit fluorine-free value proposition.
• National Foam: US-based firefighting foam concentrate manufacturer (Class A and Class B foams, including legacy AFFF and fluorine-free lines). Closely comparable specialty foam formulator competing for the same aviation, marine, and municipal tenders.
• Perimeter Solutions: Owner of the PHOS-CHEK and SOLBERG fire suppressant brands, producing firefighting foam concentrates and retardants for aviation, military, wildland, and industrial applications. Closely comparable as a foam-focused specialty supplier with a fluorine-free (SOLBERG) product line.
• Angus Fire: UK-based manufacturer of firefighting foams, powders, and fire suppression equipment serving industrial, aviation, marine, and military customers. Comparable as an integrated foam + equipment supplier with similar end-market mix and ongoing PFAS reformulation effort.

Others

• Dafo Group: Swedish fire safety parent group that appears to own Dafo Fomtec. Adjacent rather than competitive — provides distribution, integration, and end-customer relationships in the Nordics that funnel demand into Dafo Fomtec's foam and powder products.

Broad incumbents

• 3M: Historically a major supplier of PFAS-based AFFF concentrates; has announced exit from PFAS foam manufacturing. Relevant as a legacy market incumbent whose withdrawal is reshaping competitive dynamics and creating openings for fluorine-free specialists.
• Johnson Controls (Tyco Fire Protection Products): Large fire suppression systems integrator and equipment maker (including legacy Tyco Chemguard foam concentrates). Broader incumbent operating across detection, suppression hardware, and foam rather than specializing purely in foam concentrates.
