Nothing is more important than securing the safety of a building’s occupants during an emergency. The fire protection landscape is evolving swiftly, fuelled by technological advancements designed to improve safety and efficiency in fire detection, control, and suppression. These innovations transform traditional methods and establish new safety standards in residential and commercial spaces.
Firexpo, held at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand from 3 to 5 June 2025, is focused on providing building owners and managers with the appropriate fire safety tools to mitigate fire risks. Co-located with Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, and Facilities Management Expo, Firexpo reduces the time needed to find the latest fire detection and suppression products and services, all under one roof.
“Visitors to Firexpo are seeking solutions to their specific issues, and the exhibitors at the expo are able to provide them with products and services precisely suited to these differing needs. They understand that the fire safety and protection objectives of a hospital or assisted living facility will be different from those of an industrial warehouse, for example. Firexpo exhibitors provide valuable advice on the most appropriate course of action when selecting the correct solutions for each application,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions — a division of Montgomery Group.
“There are multiple benefits for the suppliers of these fire safety products and services when exhibiting at Firexpo. These include having a large captive audience interacting with them over the concentrated three-day period, and the fact that there is a natural flow-through from the other co-located expos, meaning that visitors who initially came looking for security, OSH, or FM solutions, might very well source their fire safety solutions at the same time.”
Anderson adds that the free-to-attend Firexpo Seminar Theatre (launched in 2024) proved to be a big drawcard for visitors. “This was complemented by the visitors attending the free-to-attend seminar theatres and other visitor attractions — like the K9 demo, the SAIDSA Techman Competition, and the drone displays. The expos are beneficial to both visitors and exhibitors.”
