Marioff

About 

Inflexion backed Marioff, the global leader in high-pressure water mist fire suppression, to expand its market-leading position across marine and fast-growing land-based markets and grow its aftermarket and service capabilities worldwide.

Founded over 40 years ago and headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Marioff delivers complete fire protection solutions across the full value chain, from development and manufacturing through to sales, turnkey project execution and lifecycle services. Its proprietary HI-FOG® technology protects mission-critical environments in more than 70 countries, including data centres, naval vessels, cruise ships and industrial facilities. HI-FOG® extinguishes fires faster and more effectively than traditional systems while using up to 90% less water, reducing the impact on both high-value assets and the environment. In its most recent financial year, Marioff generated revenues of $266m.

Value acceleration 

Inflexion’s investment is supporting Marioff to build on its leadership in high-pressure water mist and strengthen its position as a trusted partner in global fire protection. Working alongside CEO Juha Ilvonen and his team, Inflexion is helping accelerate growth in land-based end markets, including the rapidly expanding data centre sector, while retaining Marioff’s market-leading proposition in marine. A central priority is deepening the company’s aftermarket and service capabilities, alongside continued investment in innovation and global go-to-market, all underpinned by the safety, reliability and compliance at the core of the business.

Marioff’s growth draws on Inflexion’s strong track record in safety-critical and compliance-focused businesses, including Kee Safety, Noventis Safety, BES, Phenna and Celnor.
