What GazDetect does
GazDetect is a French specialty distributor of gas detection and respiratory protection equipment, headquartered in Vert-Saint-Denis and founded in 2008. The company sources and resells products from tier-1 industrial safety manufacturers — including Honeywell Analytics, Dräger, Industrial Scientific, Oldham, Gastec, Blackline Safety, CleanSpace, Bacharach, Spasciani, Neofeu, and PIP — covering portable and fixed gas detectors, colorimetric tubes, fixed systems, optical flame detectors, gas detection controllers (notably the MX43 multi-channel controller managing up to 32 detectors), gas masks, powered air-purifying respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus, supplied-air systems, escape respirators, hazmat suits, fall protection, and ATEX-certified lighting. Its target customers are industrial and manufacturing facilities, water treatment and sanitation operators, construction and maintenance contractors, and emergency services/fire departments, with use cases spanning confined space entry, ATEX-zone monitoring, leak detection, and respiratory protection compliance.
GazDetect operates a hybrid B2B go-to-market: a public e-commerce storefront (SafetyGas.com), direct phone and quotation-based enterprise sales, worldwide shipping, and a short-term rental service delivering portable detectors within 24–48 hours. Revenue streams combine one-time equipment sales, usage-based rentals, a subscription-style "Maintenance Incluse" two-year bundled service, professional calibration and PPE Class 3 inspection, and state-approved training (CATEC, SCBA, gas detection). The MyGazDetect 2.0 cloud platform provides fleet management, periodic verification, and automated calibration notifications, while the GazFinder portal serves as a structured reference resource on hazardous gases. The company is privately held, capitalized at €100,000, operates with 11–50 employees from a single French site under managing editor Didier Collin, and shows no disclosed institutional funding, M&A, or parent-company structure.

GazDetect product offering
Product offeringCore offering
GazDetect distributes and services industrial gas detection equipment (portable and fixed detectors, colorimetric tubes, controllers) and Class 3 respiratory protection equipment (gas masks, PAPR, SCBA, hazmat suits, fall protection). The company also provides maintenance, calibration, rental, and training services, and operates the MyGazDetect 2.0 digital platform for fleet management and periodic verification tracking of customer equipment.
Product overview
GazDetect is a safety equipment distributor specializing in gas detection and respiratory protection. The portfolio is organized as a platform of interconnected products rather than a unified software platform. Core offerings include portable gas detectors (single and multi-gas, ATEX-certified), fixed gas detection systems (controllers like the MX43 multi-channel controller, fixed detectors, open path detectors, optical flame detectors), and colorimetric detection tubes. Respiratory protection encompasses gas masks, powered air purifying respirators (PAPR), self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), supplied air respirator systems, escape respirators, hazmat suits, fall protection equipment, and ATEX lighting. Supporting services include the MyGazDetect 2.0 fleet management platform for equipment tracking and calibration scheduling, gas detector rental, and included maintenance packages. The company operates SafetyGas as its e-commerce platform and GazFinder as an information portal. Related services include confined space entry (CATEC) training, lone worker protection devices (DATI/PTI), calibration services, and PPE inspection/maintenance.
