40 Years of STÖBICH
The Goslar-based family business has its origins in 1978, when a major fire in a Bahlsen factory caused millions in damage because the fire was spread to several parts of the factory through the necessary wall openings via conveyor systems. It was precisely for these openings in walls and ceilings that Dr Jochen Stöbich designed the first ➥ Fire protection closures for continuous conveyor technology - the basis for rapid development and the impetus for founding STÖBICH Brandschutz.
Courage and enthusiasm for technology - Made in Germany
Over 150 patent applications and 11 successfully established world firsts on the market

Whether control system construction, sheet metal processing or fabric development, the expertise and manufacturing processes are located within the STÖBICH group of companies.
Textile fire protection
Fire protection should work, but not stand out! Because outstanding architecture is characterised by harmony of form and function. Textile fire protection combines aesthetics and functionality and enables open room concepts despite strict fire protection regulations. If the structural separation into fire compartments or the creation of large smoke barriers is required, many fire protection solutions interfere with the room concept, sometimes considerably.
Fire protection curtains, smoke barriers and textile smoke protection closures from STÖBICH are available in a very wide range of designs and offer almost invisible integration into sophisticated and open architecture. Variable installation variants, even round or corner penetration seals and the closure of extremely large wall and ceiling openings make fire and smoke protection curtains from STÖBICH true all-rounders for a wide range of protection objectives.
Fire protection for conveyor systems
The development has a history. In 1978, a major fire at the Bahlsen plant in Berlin caused millions in property damage. At that time, the conveyor belts affected had transported the fire to several areas of the hall complex. The avoidable damage in this case totalled around DM 6 million. The reason was that at that time there were neither functioning nor tested designs on the market for sealing off continuous conveyor systems.
Jochen Stöbich designed the first fire protection closures for this application. Whether as a sliding design, flap construction, swing door or sectional door: today, there is a suitable compartmentalisation solution for almost every installation situation and conveyor system variant. Every FAA must contribute to a trouble-free conveying process and must not hinder it. Conveyor system manufacturers therefore require safe interaction between the conveyor system and the FAA as well as a reliable closing process.
The performance of modern fire protection textiles
When looking at a fabric that is only 1 mm thick, it may be hard to believe that it can achieve a fire resistance that is in no way inferior to that of solid closures such as doors or gates. However, modern textiles can easily withstand temperatures of more than 1,000°C and have been proven to remain intact for several hours. What's more, curtain systems of this kind can even reduce radiation transmission by around 90 % with the right fabric structure. However, the production of these high-tech fabrics requires a great deal of development work as well as complex weaving, coating and laminating techniques.
Excellent fire protection
In over 40 years of inventiveness, innovative spirit and experience in preventive structural fire protection, STÖBICH has not only grown into a successful company. STÖBICH has become a brand that stands for customised fire protection solutions, for expertise in the development, manufacture and installation of conveyor system closures and fire or smoke protection curtains. A brand that creates long-term trust with customers through solution-orientated advice. A brand that continues to inspire architects and planners with modern concepts and ideas. Numerous prizes and awards testify to the success story of the Goslar-based family business.
