EPIX

What EPIX does

EPIX SRL is a privately held Argentine company, headquartered in San Justo, Buenos Aires, that designs, manufactures, assembles, and maintains fire detection and extinguishing systems for industrial and commercial clients. Founded with over 30 years of operating history, the company offers an integrated product portfolio covering water-based extinguishing systems (sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, monitors), foam systems (low/medium/high expansion), gas suppression systems (FM-200 clean agent), and fire detection and alarm systems, complemented by pre-assembled pump room skids and modular shelter units. The company differentiates on its full-lifecycle service model, IRAM 3501 (levels 3 and 4) and IRAM 3546 certifications, and adherence to NFPA standards.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based engagements covering design, manufacturing, and assembly of fire protection systems for enterprise clients, supplemented by recurring preventive and corrective maintenance services (performance curve measurements, line testing, foam analysis, detection system cleaning) and ancillary engineering, audit, and training services delivered under NFPA-aligned methodologies. EPIX's customer base spans blue-chip Argentine enterprises across energy and oil and gas (YPF, YPF Gas, Wintershall Dea, Juan F. Secco), consumer goods and food and beverage (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, P&G, Bunge, Liliana, Tersuave), industrial and manufacturing (Loma Negra, Siderca, Arauco, Gilera), and telecommunications (Telefónica), with distribution handled almost exclusively through direct enterprise sales engagement within Argentina.

The company operates with 51–100 employees from a single Argentine headquarters, with no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no public offering, and no expansion outside Argentina. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year maintenance contracts supporting a recurring service revenue layer. EPIX holds IRAM (Argentine standards) and professional certifications (AGC, COPIME) alongside NFPA compliance, positioning it as a compliance-driven systems integrator for Argentina's regulated industrial fire safety market.

Core offering

EPIX SRL designs, manufactures, assembles, and maintains fire detection and extinguishing systems for industrial and commercial facilities in Argentina. Its portfolio spans water-based (sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, monitors), foam-based, and clean-agent gas (FM-200) suppression systems, fire detection and alarm systems, plus modular pump-room skids and shelters. Supporting services include preventive/corrective maintenance, engineering, audits, hydraulic calculations, and NFPA-aligned training.

Product overview

EPIX is a specialized fire protection company offering an integrated portfolio of hardware-based fire extinction and detection systems. The core product portfolio consists of water-based systems (sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, monitors), foam systems for flammable liquids, gas suppression systems (FM-200), and fire detection/alarm systems. Supporting these core products are two modular infrastructure offerings: Skids (pre-assembled pump systems) and Shelters (modular pump room units). The company also provides complementary services including engineering and audits, maintenance, and professional training. All products adhere to NFPA standards and IRAM certifications.
