Stif has announced the acquisition of a 75% majority stake in Safevent by its Belgian subsidiary, Stuvex. Safevent, a Danish specialist in passive and active industrial explosion protection, will be renamed Stuvex Nordic.
A family-owned business based in Hjorring, Denmark, Safevent generated revenues of €2.5 million in 2025, with 50% of its activity coming from exports. The company notably developed a proprietary spark detection and extinguishing system, an active protection device for industrial environments.
Safevent is set to distribute the group’s entire range of active and passive industrial explosion protection products throughout the Scandinavian region (Denmark, Sweden, Norway).
In particular, it will market Stuvex’s active protection solutions, such as the Flash explosion suppression system, a high-performance technology designed to detect and suppress dust explosions in their earliest stages.
The historical lead partner, Hvidkìr Holding ApS, retains a 25% stake, and René Hvidkìr remains at the helm of the company.
