Desu Systems to showcase industrial safety portfolio at INTERSCHUTZ 2026

Desu Systems confirms attendance at INTERSCHUTZ 2026

Desu Systems will attend the INTERSCHUTZ 2026 exhibition in Hannover from 1 to 6 June to present its broad portfolio of safety technologies.

The company announced it will be located at Hall 12, Stand D07, with a full team presence representing its various technical divisions.

Exhibits will focus on methane emission monitoring, flame and gas detection, and kitchen fire protection.

This presence at the exhibition reflects a growing demand for performance-led safety systems that respond to tighter regulatory expectations and operational risks.

Operators in petrochemical processing, hydrogen production, wind energy and waste handling face increasing pressure to improve safety performance.

Desu Systems also identifies aircraft hangars, tank storage, offshore infrastructure and commercial kitchens as sectors requiring updated technical and compliance solutions.

Emile Hippe, Managing Director of Desu Systems said: “Across industry, the conversation around safety is becoming more urgent and more practical at the same time.

“Companies are under pressure to improve detection performance, strengthen resilience, and respond to changing regulatory demands.

“Our role is to help them find technologies that are not only advanced, but also relevant to the realities they face in the field.”

Technical solutions for hazardous and industrial environments

Featured technologies at the stand will include optical gas imaging systems used for methane leak detection, quantification and monitoring.

The company will showcase the Spectrex 20/20Q flame detector alongside detection technologies based on QuadSense innovation.

These systems are designed to support faster response and reliability in demanding industrial conditions.

The exhibitor listing also includes the Sensia thermal imaging camera and the Buckeye Kitchen Mister suppression system.

Ronald Verkroost, Founder and CEO of Desu Systems said: “Industrial safety decisions carry greater consequences than ever when systems fall short.

“That is why detection and suppression technologies need to be chosen with a clear view of the risk, the environment, and the operational reality.

“At INTERSCHUTZ, we want to show solutions that answer those demands in a serious and practical way.”

Verkroost and Hippe will be available for press interviews throughout the duration of the event.

What 20 years of Desu Systems reveals about industrial safety progress

Desu Systems launches 20 insights campaign

Desu Systems has launched an anniversary initiative setting out lessons from two decades in industrial safety.

The Netherlands-based distributor of flame and gas detection and suppression systems announced its “20 Insights from 20 Years” campaign in November 2025.

According to the company, the campaign shares experience from partnerships across more than 60 countries.

The hub also presents a company timeline, customer stories and technology milestones.

Ronald Verkroost, Founder of Desu Systems, said: “When we started Desu Systems in 2005, we set out to do things differently – faster, more flexible, and with total focus on the customer.

“It’s about giving back – sharing what we’ve learned to help others raise their standards of protection.”

Focus on evolving detection and support

Desu Systems said the initiative draws on work with brands including Spectrex, Buckeye Fire, Emerson Measurement Solutions, Sensia and Hansentek.

The company explained that its systems support facilities such as refineries, offshore substations, hydrogen plants, food processing sites and aviation hangars.

Emile Hippe, Chief Executive Officer at Desu Systems, said: “Our industry evolves constantly: smarter sensors, predictive data, fewer false alarms.

“But what doesn’t change is our mission: to guide safety professionals toward the best-fit solutions for their environments.

“We’re proud to stand behind the technologies that keep people, assets, and operations safe – every day.”

Partner feedback on capability and delivery

According to Desu Systems, partners highlighted technical depth and delivery standards.

Emil Cohen, Emerson Measurement Solutions, said: “Unmatched expertise in flame and gas solutions” and “dedication to partner success.”

Jason Sickenberger, Buckeye Fire, noted: “Professionalism, integrity, and operational excellence.”

Ryan Facer, Hansentek, said: “Collaborative feedback that strengthened our product development.”

Daan Korenhoff, Lavastica, described Desu as: “A partner who always keeps their promises.”

Ivan Vučević, Zarja Elektronika, said: “Desu are the best.”

Overview of the 20 insights

The “20 Insights from 20 Years” campaign condenses two decades of operational experience into practical lessons for safety professionals.

Desu Systems said the insights address lifecycle reliability, detector design, placement, calibration and adaptation to new fuels and materials.

They also explore the value of third-party approvals, verification testing and maintenance planning for system longevity.

The company explained that several insights highlight how to minimise false alarms, improve performance in harsh environments and optimise detection coverage through positioning.

A full review of all 20 insights is available via the dedicated campaign link provided by Desu Systems.

Concise review of themes with link context

Desu Systems has summarised two decades of practical learning into 20 insights available through its anniversary hub.

The themes cover lifecycle reliability, detector design and operational efficiency across varied industrial environments.

Several insights focus on how to minimise false alarms, optimise placement and adapt detection systems for new fuel types and materials.

Others address the value of third-party approvals, rigorous factory verification and side-by-side testing to ensure long-term performance.

The list also examines the impact of maintenance decisions, the economics of lifecycle reliability and how feedback from real-world projects supports continual improvement.

A full breakdown of the 20 insights can be viewed via the campaign link provided by Desu Systems.

Relevance for fire and safety professionals

Procurement officers and equipment specifiers can use the listed insights to structure evaluations around lifecycle reliability, verification testing and third-party approvals.

Fire engineering consultants and system designers may apply guidance on range planning, placement and sensitivity tuning to improve coverage and reduce false activations.

Oil and gas safety officers and industrial facility managers can map lessons from hydrogen fuelling, waste handling and power grid sites to comparable high-hazard environments.

Training officers can incorporate side-by-side comparisons and pre-deployment fire-testing into competency frameworks for detection technology selection.
