About us

FFE has designed and manufactured fire detection solutions in the UK for over 40 years.  Our Talentum®, Fireray®, Aviation Fire Extinguishers and Vibration Switches are trusted by installers, distributors and organisations to protect some of the most valuable, prestigious, and strategic sites and assets in the world.

FFE began life as Fire Fighting Enterprises in 1974. After building a solid business in fire detection for aviation, our range expanded to encompass the design, manufacture and supply of vibration switches to protect rotating plant and reciprocating machinery.

Our commitment to fire detection and prevention led to the development of the world’s most trusted smoke detection beam; Fireray®. With over half a million units installed world-wide, Fireray® has proved to be the favoured choice of many of the world’s leading smoke detection distributors and installers. Read more »
