FORFYRE BV (dba LithiumSafe™)

FORFYRE BV, which trades as LithiumSafe, makes fire containment products for lithium-ion batteries in the Netherlands. It sells them worldwide, including to airlines.

LithiumSafe designs and builds products that help contain flames, heat, smoke and harmful gases when a battery goes into thermal runaway. Its customers include airlines, military groups and industrial firms. It also serves e-mobility, marine, laboratory, railway and consumer users. The company says it has more than ten years of experience and has run hundreds of full-scale thermal-runaway fire tests. It reports more than 50,000 products sold and has patents pending.

For aviation, the company has a section on passenger safety. Its battery bags suit tablets, laptops and other portable electronic devices. Its UL5800 rated kit is made for the emerging UL5800 standard for fire protection of portable electronic device batteries on aircraft. A placard for aviation kits is also on offer. A smoke containment sleeve can be used with the fire containment bag to hold toxic and explosive smoke and gases.

The range goes beyond aviation. The 750 Bag is a patented design made to contain a fire from an e-bike battery up to 750 Wh at full charge. Fully insulated battery boxes are for storing, moving and charging large batteries or many batteries at once. A battery locker and marine bags are also available. Wall mounted kits give workplaces, charging areas and public buildings quick access to containment and protective equipment.

The company keeps all stages of manufacturing in-house to control quality. Its office, warehouse and assembly site is in Heinenoord, and its manufacturing site is in Oud-Beijerland. It supports customers in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. It also publishes a blog on battery safety, rules and fire risks, and has spoken in an aircraft cabin management feature about fires that start again after the flames go out.
