HAFEX Hybrid Fire Extinguishing Systems

What HAFEX Hybrid Fire Extinguishing Systems does

HAFEX Hybrid Fire Extinguishing Systems is a Turkish fire suppression equipment manufacturer, legally YG Yangın Güvenliği Sanayi ve Dış Ticaret Limited Şirketi, founded in 2010 by Yalçın Günaydın and headquartered in Kağıthane, Istanbul. The company designs and produces condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems that suppress fires through a redox reaction generating potassium carbonate/bicarbonate (K-type) or strontium-based (S-type) particles, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, which interrupt combustion chemically (free-radical binding) and physically (cooling) without reducing oxygen levels or requiring pressure vessels. HAFEX is the sole global producer of Strontium-based (S-type) condensed aerosol systems, with a 19-SKU hardware portfolio (K-type from 20g to 7,600g agent weight, plus S-type variants) complemented by five electronic control panels/activators and accessories including ATEX-certified connectors, Linear Heat Detection components, and thermobulb activators. The product line addresses Class A, B, C, F and electrical fires across eight verticals: power distribution, telecommunications, maritime, construction, transportation, industrial machinery, oil and gas, and railway, with the defense sector as a strategic priority through SAHA-İstanbul cluster membership and NATO stock codes.

HAFEX's go-to-market is enterprise and government field sales, with turnkey engineering services from production through installation. The company holds a unique regulatory position as the first and only holder of TS ISO 15779 certification globally and the first and only UNECE R107 certificate from TSE for bus fire suppression, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, CE, ATEX, BSI, and TNO third-party validations. Its customer base is dominated by Turkish state and defense institutions, including the Turkish Armed Forces, ASELSAN, HAVELSAN, ROKETSAN, ASPİLSAN, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, BAYKAR, AFAD, the Presidency of the Republic, BOTAŞ, TEİAŞ, Türk Telekom, Turkcell, Vodafone, TOGG, OTOKAR, TCDD, and İstanbul Airport, with international expansion via offices in Prague, Toronto, Cape Town, New Delhi, Erbil, and Cairo and distributor/sales-rep coverage in 45 countries as of January 2025. Revenue mechanics are quote-based hardware sales with a 15-year product warranty, no public revenue disclosure, no institutional funding, and a 8-employee headcount.
