At BSB Engineering Services, we’re known across the UK for our expertise in passive fire protection and damper manufacturing. But did you know we’re part of something even bigger?

As a proud member of the Maico Group, BSB is backed by a global network of engineering excellence, bringing together decades of knowledge, shared innovation, and international distribution capabilities. Together, we offer more than just dampers—we deliver intelligent HVAC and fire safety solutions that meet the needs of complex projects across Europe and beyond.

In July, BSB proudly hosted a global group management meeting at its Aylesford headquarters, welcoming key figures from across the Maico Group. The multi-day event provided a valuable opportunity to discuss strategic growth, collaborative innovation, and future product development.

Reflecting on the event, David Fitzpatrick, recently appointed Managing Director of BSB, commented:

“This event marked a key milestone for BSB. It reaffirmed our place within a truly global network of excellence—united not just by technology and products, but by shared ambition. We’re not manufacturing dampers; we’re building the future of fire safety engineering.”

The Maico Group is a collective of leading HVAC and fire safety brands with manufacturing and technical facilities across Germany, Italy, Turkey, Dubai, and the UK. This gives BSB access to:

• Advanced R&D partnerships to continuously evolve product performance.
• Insights into international fire safety standards, helping expand confidently into export markets.
• A wider product portfolio—including fans, air movement systems, grilles and diffusers (via Brooke Air), and digital control technologies—delivered by trusted group partners.

As a result, BSB’s products are not only safeguarding UK hospitals, schools, and commercial spaces—but are also deployed across marine environments, and critical infrastructure projects throughout Europe and beyond.

With distribution partners across Europe and a dedicated UK manufacturing hub in Aylesford, BSB is ideally positioned to deliver:

• Fast turnaround on both high-volume and bespoke orders.
• Responsive technical support from a UK team with global engineering insight.
• Full documentation and certification support
• Our colleagues at Air Trade Centre Turkey, for example, provide specialist AHU and air control products to complement our damper solutions—creating fully integrated HVAC and fire safety systems for modern construction.

Being part of a forward-thinking, innovation-led group empowers BSB to stay ahead of industry challenges and invest in the technologies of tomorrow. From digitally connected damper controls to enhanced CPD training and education programmes, we’re not only growing as a manufacturer, but evolving as a trusted engineering partner.

With continued collaboration across the Maico Group and exciting initiatives on the horizon—such as the expansion of our “engineering” department and future product launches—BSB is well-positioned to shape the next chapter of fire safety and ventilation excellence.
