What DEZEGA does
DEZEGA is a privately-held, Kyiv-headquartered designer and manufacturer of personal respiratory protective equipment (RPE) serving underground mining, tunnel construction, metallurgical, fire/rescue, and process-industry customers in more than 50 countries. The company traces its respiratory-protection heritage to 1960, was formally incorporated in 2014, and reports 501–1,000 employees. Its core product architecture spans self-contained self-rescuers (SCSRs) — the CARBO 60 (60-minute rated, patented stowing method, ergonomic waist-worn design), CARBO 30, and ROXY 30 — the fifth-generation P-70 compressed-oxygen self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with integrated oxygen distribution and buddy-breathing capability, and the SOLAS/MED-certified EmSCAPE emergency escape hood. Adjacent offerings include the CheckUp testing device, the SubWave medium-frequency underground communication system, and the HIHPG2 oxygen gas booster, supported by training self-rescuers used for customer donning and evacuation drills.
DEZEGA manufactures at a wholly-owned 1,800 sqm facility in the Aegean Free Economic Zone in Izmir, Turkey (DEZEGA SP, opened September 2017) with annual capacity of approximately 120,000 self-contained respiratory devices, supplemented by R&D in Ukraine. Revenue mechanics combine direct enterprise field sales to large mining majors, tunneling consortia, and energy operators (Polska Grupa Górnicza, JSW, Buenaventura, BBT SE, HS2 Align JV, ADNOC, ExxonMobil, DTEK) with regional channel partners and authorized distributors in Poland, Turkey, Peru (JS Industrial), Vietnam (MIECO), and elsewhere, plus tender/bid participation for large project contracts and recurring testing, maintenance, and training service revenue. Go-to-market is reinforced by exhibitions (A+A, BAUMA, INTERSCHUTZ, Mining Turkey, Electra Mining Africa, IMRB) and multilingual digital content.
Products are qualified to a dense stack of international standards — EN/DSTU EN13794 (EU/Ukraine), SANS 53794:2007 (South Africa), MED 2014/90/EU and SOLAS (maritime), plus approvals in Australia, Brazil, India, and the US — making the certification portfolio itself a structural barrier to entry. Following the March 2022 termination of Russian and Belarusian operations, the company's commercial footprint is concentrated in EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and select MEA markets.
