Quevaucamps / Ophasselt - December 11, 2024

Fire Concept, based in Quevaucamps (Hainaut province), was founded in 2004 by Frédéric Moreau. Over 20 years, he has built a successful career, growing his one-man business into a dynamic and highly regarded player in fire protection and fire detection. With a team of 35 experienced and driven specialists, a fleet of 15 vehicles, and a workshop of 3.000 m², Fire Concept today develops a wide range of technically advanced solutions tailored mainly to industrial customers.

On the other hand, Altebra was set up in 1990 as a designer and installer of sprinkler systems and now offers a full spectrum of active fire protection products and services in various markets and countries. With regional anchoring, Altebra currently serves the Benelux, France and Scandinavia from six locations close to its customers. The company aims to develop regional hubs in other countries it is active in. Altebra provides custom-built fire protection systems for logistics, storage spaces, high-rise warehouses, industry, datacenters, shopping centers, hospitals, offices and car parking facilities. The company also offers foam concentrate sprinkler systems for high-risk locations, high-pressure water mist systems, smoke and heat ventilation systems, and fire compartmentalization solutions. Altebra runs a team of fully certified, experienced specialist installers to ensure fire safety systems always function perfectly and are maintained optimally

Altebra continues to expand its presence in the Benelux region and beyond, offering a full spectrum of fire protection products and services. With this acquisition, Altebra reinforces its position as a leader in the industry, providing innovative and reliable fire safety solutions to its customers.

Frédéric Moreau will remain on board as the manager of Fire Concept and will also become a shareholder of Altebra. This ensures continuity and leverages Frédéric's expertise and experience in the industry.

In the spring of 2025, Fire Concept will move to a new office complex in Baudour (Saint-Ghislain, Mons region). With this move, it is ready to face the future with confidence as part of the Altebra Group

Stefaan Devolder, CEO of the Altebra Group, commented: “We have found a partner in Fire Concept with whom we share the same DNA. Quality, innovation, and a customer-oriented approach are central to them, just as they are to us. The choice to include Fire Concept in the Altebra Group was therefore no coincidence and fits perfectly into the strategic plan to further strengthen our group's regional anchoring. This way, we want to optimize customer access to Total Fire Protection solutions and further build our position in the European market. Fire Concept is already the ideal base for Altebra in Wallonia and Northern France.”
