Flammer GmbH

What Flammer GmbH does

Flammer GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of industrial flame arresters and explosion-protection equipment, headquartered in Cleebronn, Baden-Württemberg. The company's product portfolio covers end-of-line atmospheric and endurance-burning flame arresters, inline deflagration flame arresters (concentric, eccentric, short-time and endurance-burning variants), inline detonation flame arresters (concentric, eccentric, elbow-type), liquid-product flame arresters (inline and foot-valve), combined pressure/vacuum valve flame arresters, and replacement flame arrester elements with flow straighteners. Its underlying technology centers on flame-arresting element geometry and housing design that quenches flame propagation in pipework and storage tanks handling flammable gases and vapors, with manufacturing certified to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (audited by PTB) and quality-managed under DIN ISO 9001:2015 (audited by DQS). The company serves industrial customers across chemical processing, biogas production, petrol stations, and marine/shipping, addressing use cases in analysis, storage, measurement, and transport of gases.

The company operates with approximately five employees and no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, institutional investors, or external funding. Its go-to-market is direct sales to industrial end-users via a bilingual (German/English) website and phone/email inquiry channels, with quote-based pricing on specialized hardware rather than disclosed standard price lists. No distributor or reseller network is documented. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of flame arresters and related replacement elements. The company holds no disclosed patents, trademarks, partnerships, or alliances, and there is no record of mergers, acquisitions, leadership changes, or restructurings in the source data. Operational indicators (current website copyright, active product catalog, valid certifications through 2026–2027) confirm ongoing operations, but no growth signals (hiring, expansion, fundraising) are observable.

Core offering

Flammer GmbH manufactures and sells industrial flame arresters and explosion protection equipment, including end-of-line, inline deflagration, inline detonation, liquid product, and pressure vacuum valve flame arresters. The company also produces replacement flame arrester elements and flow straighteners, serving industrial gas handling, storage, and transport applications in chemical processing, biogas, petrol stations, and marine sectors. All products are manufactured under ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and ISO 9001:2015 certifications at the company's facility in Cleebronn, Germany.

Product overview

Flammer GmbH is a manufacturer of industrial flame arresters and safety equipment. The product portfolio includes three main product lines: End of Line Flame Arresters (for tank vent applications), Inline Deflagration Flame Arresters (for pipe systems), and Inline Detonation Flame Arresters (for higher-intensity protection). Each product line offers multiple variants including concentric, eccentric, elbow-type configurations, and specialized versions for endurance burning, short-time burning, and small flow applications. Additionally, the company produces Liquid Product Flame Arresters for liquid handling systems, Pressure Vacuum Valve Flame Arresters combining pressure relief with flame protection, and Flame Arrester Elements/Flow Straighteners as replacement components. The products serve typical applications including analysis, storage, measurement, and transport of gases across industries such as chemical processing, biogas, petrol stations, and marine/ship applications.

Products and services

• End of Line Flame Arresters End-of-line flame arresters designed to prevent atmospheric explosions by stopping flame propagation at tank vent openings. Includes atmospheric explosion, endurance burning, and small flow rate variants for industrial storage tank applications.
• Inline Deflagration Flame Arresters Inline flame arresters providing deflagration protection for pipe systems, preventing flame transmission through pipework. Available in concentric, eccentric, short time burning, and endurance burning variants for different installation configurations and burning scenarios.
• Inline Detonation Flame Arresters Heavy-duty inline flame arresters providing detonation protection for pipe systems against higher intensity flame propagation. Available in concentric, eccentric, elbow-type, short time burning, and endurance burning configurations for various pipe orientations and exposure conditions.
• Liquid Product Flame Arresters Specialized flame arresters for liquid product lines including end-of-line and inline detonation configurations for tanks containing flammable liquids, plus foot valve designs for pump intake protection in liquid product systems.
• Pressure Vacuum Valve End of Line Flame Arresters Combined pressure vacuum relief valves with integrated flame arrester protection for storage tank venting applications, providing both pressure/vacuum relief and flame protection in a single unit.
• Flame Arrester Elements and Flow Straighteners Replacement flame arrester elements and flow straightening components for maintenance and retrofit applications, supporting existing installations of the company's flame arrester products.

Broad incumbents

• Fike Corporation: US-based manufacturer of explosion protection, fire suppression, and pressure relief products with global presence. Larger incumbent with diversified safety portfolio that includes flame arresters as one segment among many.
• BS&B Safety Systems: US-based global provider of explosion protection, flame arrestance, and pressure/vacuum relief products. Larger incumbent with broader portfolio and global footprint serving the same industrial customer base; competes on enterprise contracts where scale matters.

Direct peers

• Elmac Technologies: UK-based manufacturer specializing in flame arresters and explosion protection equipment for chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical industries. Closest direct comparable — same product category, same target customers, similar specialized manufacturer profile.
• Donadon SDD: Italian manufacturer of flame arresters and explosion protection devices for chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Direct European peer with comparable product portfolio including end-of-line, inline deflagration, and detonation arresters.
• Groth Corporation: US-based manufacturer of flame arresters, pressure/vacuum relief valves, and tank protection equipment serving oil & gas, chemical, and marine markets. Direct flame arrester peer with overlapping product lines including end-of-line and inline detonation/deflagration arresters.
• Bohnke GmbH: German manufacturer of flame arresters and explosion protection equipment. Closest geographic peer in the same domestic market, serving overlapping industrial customer segments with similar product range.
• Rembe GmbH: German manufacturer specializing in explosion protection and safety equipment including flame arresters, explosion vents, and isolation systems. Geographic peer with broader portfolio but direct overlap in flame arrester products for industrial gas/vapor handling.

Others

• Honeywell International: Global industrial conglomerate with process safety and combustion control offerings serving similar industrial customers. Indirect adjacency through combustion and process safety ecosystems rather than direct flame arrester competition.
• Pepperl+Fuchs: German process automation and explosion protection specialist supplying intrinsic safety barriers and equipment for hazardous areas. Adjacent player serving overlapping industrial customers in explosive atmosphere applications but focused on instrumentation rather than flame arrestance hardware.
• Siemens AG: Global industrial conglomerate with a process safety portfolio addressing explosion protection in chemical and process industries. Not a direct flame arrester competitor but a broader ecosystem participant whose process safety offerings touch similar customers and applications.
