Hoerbiger

Hoerbiger Holding AG is an industrial technology group headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, tracing its origins to Hanns Hoerbiger's 1895 steel-plate valve for compressors. The group is organized into business units for compression, automotive, rotary, engine, and safety technology. Within the Safety business unit, Hoerbiger operates IEP Technologies and Newson Gale, companies that supply explosion suppression, isolation, and venting systems together with static grounding and bonding equipment for facilities that handle combustible dusts and powders. IEP Technologies traces its lineage through predecessor brands including Kidde, Incom, Fenwal, and Brilex, and Hoerbiger acquired the company in 2015 as part of a broader move into explosion protection for process industries. Products described on the company's own sites include the IsoFlap passive isolation valve and flameless venting and burst-panel systems for relieving the pressure of a dust explosion. Hoerbiger Safety Solutions lists manufacturing sites in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria, with regional offices across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
