Européenne d'Extincteurs SA
 PROFILE
Poor foresight isn't the reason that Européenne d'Extincteurs spends most of its time putting out fires. One of Europe's largest fire extinguisher manufacturers, it makes, sells, and services fire extinguishers for both commercial and home use. The company's brands include Stopfire, Areofeu, and CRPI. France and Germany together account for more than 80% of Européenne d'Extincteurs' sales. As its sales slowed, the company began making acquisitions in order to grow externally: It indirectly acquired Italian company Estman and purchased an 85% stake in Tefal Groupe's security business through its Domis subsidiary. Européenne d'Extincteurs restructured and named Francois Le Floc'h as its new chairman.
