Boele Fire Protection bv

What Boele Fire Protection bv does

Boele Fire Protection B.V. is a Dutch specialist in integral fire protection water supply systems, headquartered in Ede, Netherlands, operating from an in-house workshop with approximately 18-20 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and services sprinkler pump sets (diesel and electric driven), prefabricated pump rooms, sprinkler and water storage tanks (above-ground, underground, and temporary), and fire protection valves, working exclusively as a subcontractor to installation companies and serving building owners across the Netherlands.

The company's core technology stack spans diesel and electric pump systems conforming to FM, NFPA, NEN-EN12845, VAS, and NEN16925 standards, complemented by three proprietary innovations: the Variable Speed Drive (VSD) which reduces electric pump starting current from 7-8x to 1.2x nominal in both mains-powered (VSD-AC) and battery-powered (VSD-DC) variants; the patented Battery Power Supply (BPS) which stores energy for periodic testing and emergencies; and FIRE Vision, a Kiwa-certified remote management and testing platform enabling 24/7 digital monitoring of sprinkler installations from a central control room. All work is performed in-house, from design through prefabrication, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

Boele's revenue model combines hardware sales (pump sets, tanks, valves), professional services (B and C inspections, SCIOS inspections, 24/7 emergency support), and rental of temporary water supply components, with a recurring service book covering more than 700 locations across the Netherlands. Customer segments are vertically diversified across aviation, retail, beverage, financial services, healthcare, hospitality, defense, energy, logistics, food processing, and public transportation. Boele has been a subsidiary of the Dutch technical services group Unica since 2025, and holds SCIOS certification since 2017, Kiwa FSS certification for FIRE Vision, and CIBV recognition.
