• Gulf Fire Equipment LLC: UAE-based manufacturer and supplier of firefighting equipment and systems serving the same MENA project channel as FIREX, with overlapping product categories in pumps, alarms, suppression, and foam.
• Viking Group: Special hazard fire suppression and foam system manufacturer with comparable wet chemical, foam, and water-based suppression offerings; competes in the same special-hazard category as FIREX's foam systems.

• Johnson Controls (Tyco): Global fire suppression and life safety incumbent offering detection, sprinkler, and special hazard systems — competing with FIREX on integrated solutions for large commercial and industrial facilities.
• Bosch Security and Safety Systems: One of the brands FIREX distributes for fire detection and voice evacuation. As an OEM, it competes for the underlying product revenue FIREX captures only at the integration margin.
