Core offering

Cottés delivers turnkey fire protection, smoke control (SCTEH), and energy-efficient ventilation projects for industrial, logistics, data center, commercial, and healthcare facilities in Spain. The offering bundles engineering design (including CFD/FDS performance-based design), installation of proprietary and third-party systems, and ongoing maintenance under single contratos llave en mano. Product portfolio centers on SCTEH systems, exutorios (smoke vents), automatic sprinkler systems (ESFR/IN-RACK), fire detection, smoke/fire curtains, and dual-purpose natural ventilation/daylighting solutions.

Product overview

Cottés is a fire protection and smoke control company operating as part of the Attlon Group. Its product portfolio centers on SCTEH (Sistemas de Control de Temperatura y Evacuación de Humos) — Temperature Control and Smoke Exhaust Systems — as the core platform, which integrates exutorios (smoke vents), smoke curtains, fire curtains, and HVLS industrial fans. The company also offers a full line of fire suppression products including automatic sprinkler systems, fire detection systems, and special-risk solutions for lithium batteries, cold storage, and data centers. On the energy efficiency side, Cottés provides natural ventilation and daylight systems that leverage the same exutorio infrastructure for dual-use (daily ventilation plus fire safety). The product range is completed by engineering, installation, and maintenance services, delivered across industrial, logistics, data center, commercial, and hospital sectors throughout Spain.

Products and services

• SCTEH - Sistemas de Control de Temperatura y Evacuación de Humos Temperature Control and Smoke Exhaust Systems (SCTEH) that manage smoke and heat during a fire, keeping evacuation routes clear and facilitating emergency intervention for industrial, logistics, commercial, and healthcare facilities in Spain.
• Exutorios (Smoke Vents / Exhaust Vents) Smoke and heat exhaust vents installed in roofs or facades that open automatically or manually during a fire to release toxic gases and smoke, facilitating evacuation and protecting building structures.
• Automatic Sprinkler Systems Automatic sprinkler systems for fire suppression, covering water supply, network design, and hydraulic calculation for industrial, logistics, and commercial facilities, including ESFR, IN-RACK, and pre-action configurations.
• Automatic Fire Detection Systems Automatic fire detection systems that identify fire indicators early to trigger alarms and activate suppression systems for industrial, logistics, and commercial facilities.
• Smoke Curtains (Cortinas de Humos) Smoke curtains designed to sectorize smoke within a building during a fire, preventing smoke from spreading to evacuation routes and critical areas.
• Fire Curtains (Cortinas Cortafuegos) Fire curtains for sectorization and compartmentalization of fire, providing innovative and functional solutions for fire containment in commercial and industrial buildings.
• HVLS Industrial Fans High Volume Low Speed industrial fans that improve ventilation, control humidity levels, increase air quality, and maximize the performance of existing HVAC systems in industrial buildings.
• Special Risk Fire Protection (Riesgos Especiales) Special risk fire protection solutions tailored for specific hazards such as lithium battery storage, cold storage facilities, data centers, and chemical warehouses.
• Natural Ventilation Systems Natural ventilation systems that leverage exutorios and airflow to renew interior air without mechanical equipment, improving thermal comfort and air quality in industrial buildings.
• Fire Protection Engineering Services Fire engineering services including performance-based design, FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) computational fluid dynamics modeling, risk assessment, and compliance with UNE 23585 and RSCIEI standards for enterprise clients.
• Fire Protection Installation Services Fire protection installation services covering the complete execution of PCI systems from design through to commissioning for industrial, logistics, and commercial facilities.
• Fire Protection System Maintenance Services Maintenance services for fire protection systems ensuring ongoing compliance, functionality, and performance of installed PCI and SCTEH systems for enterprise clients.

Others

• Efectis: Efectis is a European fire safety testing, certification, and engineering services firm. It is an adjacent ecosystem participant — Cottés' products are tested and certified through labs like Efectis, and the firm competes partially in fire engineering consulting.

Direct peers

• Firesouls (Grupo Firesouls): Firesouls is a Spanish fire protection engineering and installation specialist serving industrial, logistics, and commercial clients. It competes directly with Cottés in the Spanish turnkey PCI and SCTEH market.
• SEASA (Seguridad y Equipos de Automatización): SEASA is a Spanish fire protection engineering and installation firm offering PCI and SCTEH systems across industrial and commercial segments. It is a regional direct competitor in the same vertical markets as Cottés.
• Minimax (Spain): Minimax is a German-based European fire protection specialist with Spanish operations, providing detection, sprinkler, and suppression systems. It competes head-to-head with Cottés on industrial, logistics, and data center tenders in Spain and Iberia.
• Grupo Aguilera: Grupo Aguilera is a Spanish manufacturer and installer of fire protection and smoke control systems, including exutorios, smoke curtains, and detection. It directly competes with Cottés in the Spanish market across the same SCTEH and PCI product categories.
• PCI Group (Protección Contra Incendios): PCI Group is a Spanish specialty contractor delivering fire protection design, installation, and maintenance services. It shares Cottés' turnkey project delivery model and customer base across logistics, retail, and industrial facilities.
• Brakel: Brakel is a Dutch-based European manufacturer of smoke control and ventilation systems (natural and mechanical). Cottés previously operated under the name 'Cottés Group – Brakel', indicating a historic partnership; Brakel remains the most direct comparable in exutorios and SCTEH systems across Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Controls: Johnson Controls is a global building technologies incumbent offering fire detection, suppression, and integrated building management. It overlaps with Cottés on large enterprise tenders but does not specialize in the Iberian SCTEH niche the same way.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure (Fire Safety): Siemens' Smart Infrastructure division offers fire safety detection and integrated building solutions globally. It competes with Cottés on large enterprise and infrastructure projects but as part of a much broader building technology portfolio.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell's Building Technologies segment includes fire alarm, detection, and life safety systems with global reach. It competes on large enterprise tenders but does not focus on the specialized SCTEH and exutorio niche in Spain.
