BIOEX

BIOEX is a French manufacturer of high-performance, eco-friendly firefighting foam concentrates, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Sainte-Consorce, France. A subsidiary of the LEADER Group, BIOEX is recognized globally as the world's first manufacturer of Fluorine Free Foam (FFF), having launched the pioneering ECOPOL product in 2002 — the first class A/B fluorine-free foam concentrate on the market. The company produces a comprehensive range of synthetic firefighting foam concentrates that are 100% free of PFAS, PFOS, and PFOA fluorinated chemicals, making them a leading choice for operators under increasing environmental regulatory pressure. BIOEX foam concentrates are certified under a broad array of international standards including EN1568, UL162, LASTFIRE, GESIP, FM 5130, IMO, SOLAS, ICAO, MIL-SPEC (MIL-PRF-32725), and APSAD R12. In 2020, the company relocated to a new 9,000 m² state-of-the-art manufacturing complex. BIOEX serves upstream and downstream oil and gas operators globally, with products specifically engineered for floating-roof and fixed-roof storage tanks, pipeline fires, petrochemical plants, refineries, LNG facilities, and offshore platforms including FPSOs. Notable oil and gas clients include TotalEnergies, Shell, Vopak, Sonatrach, Petronas, Neste, and Oiltanking. The company operates international subsidiaries in Germany (BIOEX GmbH) and the United States (TEMPEST/BIOEX, Fresno, California) and maintains a distribution office in Shanghai, China, with global coverage across five continents. BIOEX is an active member of JOIFF, LASTFIRE, OBA, FFMI, and ARFF industry bodies.
