ABOUT US :

Kepplair Evolution is a French aerospace company specialized in the development of multirole aircraft dedicated to civil protection and special missions. The company focuses on converting proven regional platforms, notably the ATR 72, into cost-efficient and operationally optimized solutions. This approach significantly reduces technical risk, certification timelines and development costs compared to clean-sheet aircraft programs.

Kepplair Evolution combines engineering expertise, industrial partnerships and operational feedback from firefighting professionals to design aircraft that meet real mission requirements. Its flagship program, the KEPPLAIR 72, is positioned in the middle-class air tanker segment and is designed to deliver high performance, reliability and controlled operating costs.

A core principle of the company’s strategy is multirole optimization. Aircraft are engineered to be rapidly reconfigurable between firefighting, cargo and medevac missions, allowing operators to maximize fleet utilization throughout the year and improve return on investment.

By leveraging an existing certified airframe with a global maintenance network, Kepplair Evolution ensures simplified support, pilot familiarity and strong logistical resilience. The company’s objective is to provide scalable, economically sustainable and interoperable aircraft solutions capable of renewing aging fleets in Europe and worldwide, while adapting to evolving operational doctrines and climate-related challenges.

The KEPPLAIR 72 is a next-generation multirole firefighting aircraft based on the ATR 72 platform. Positioned in the middle-class air tanker segment, it carries up to 7,500 liters (1,980 USG) of water or retardant with a segmented gravity-drop system optimized for precision and efficiency. Designed for rapid deployment from conventional runways, it combines firefighting performance with cargo and medevac capability, ensuring high annual utilization and controlled operating costs from 2027 onward.

OUR ECO-RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENTS

Forest protection is central to climate strategy: forests act as major carbon sinks and biodiversity reservoirs. Rapid aerial response to wildfires is therefore a direct lever for decarbonation. The KEPPLAIR 72 enhances early containment capacity with high sortie rates, precision drops and extended range, limiting burned areas and preventing massive CO₂ releases. Its turboprop efficiency and multirole utilization also optimize fuel consumption per mission, supporting a more sustainable aerial firefighting model

NEW INNOVATION

The KEDS (Kepplair Evolution Delivery System) is the integrated firefighting system of the KEPPLAIR 72. It results from a strategic collaboration between the IMFT (Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse), providing advanced fluid dynamics modeling and drop optimization, and Trotter Controls, a leading manufacturer of aerial drop doors. This alliance combines scientific validation and proven industrial expertise to deliver a precise, segmented, gravity-fed system optimized for efficiency, reliability and operational performance.

ABOUT US :

BatiFire – Manage the regulatory compliance of your buildings and facilitate the emergency response

BatiFire is an innovative digital solution developed to manage the regulatory compliance of buildings. Designed to simplify and satisfy the legal obligations of owners, managers and operators, our platform centralises all essential registers and technical documents – fire safety, accessibility, asbestos, single document, the health and safety inspection record, ICPE, Fire Prevention Plan and many others – in a single intuitive tool, optimised by artificial intelligence.

BatiFire’s strength lies in its ability to respond to the growing challenges of regulatory compliance by offering complete traceability, automatic deadline reminders and rigorous monitoring of outstanding actions. This is time-saving for operators, reduces the risk of non-compliance and ensures the safety of users, occupants and visitors to their buildings.

Our Emergency Services module is the only tool on the market to offer a direct connection to emergency services (fire brigade, police, gendarmerie), providing instant access to key information about a building when responding to an incident. This feature significantly improves response times and the effectiveness of emergency services, while helping to protect people and property.

BatiFire is aimed at all types of organisations: local authorities, healthcare establishments, hotels, social housing agencies, industry, education, commerce and more. Our solution is accessible from a computer, smartphone or tablet, and can be adapted to multi-site property portfolios, even complex ones.

With offices in Mery (Aix-les-Bains) and now headquartered in Mâcon, Burgundy, BatiFire has been putting technological innovation at the service of public safety and regulatory compliance since its creation. Thanks to a passionate team and strong growth momentum – funded by an investment of several million euros – more than 100,000 buildings already benefit from our regulatory management.

By putting technology to work to improve safety, BatiFire helps organisations every day to meet their regulatory obligations, optimise their operational performance and effectively protect their occupants and buildings.

The BatiFire Emergency Services module gives emergency services (fire brigade, police, gendarmerie) instant access to essential information about a building when responding to an incident. Plans, access points, technical cut-offs, specific risks, key contacts: everything is centralised, up to date and available in seconds via secure access. Unique on the market, this module improves the speed, efficiency and safety of the response, while protecting occupants and property.

Thanks to BatiFire, the fire safety register becomes a centralised, user-friendly digital tool. All mandatory information is pooled in one place: periodic inspections, regulatory checks, responses, training, instructions and history. The solution automatically adapts to the regulations applicable to your building and guides you step by step. The result? A register that is always up to date, accessible at any time and ready for inspection by the regulatory authorities.

OUR ECO-RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENTS

ABOUT US :

For over 35 years, APRO Industrie has been a key player in the design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of bolted steel tanks, delivering turnkey solutions for firefighting water storage.

Founded in 1987, APRO Industrie was the first company to introduce bolted steel tank technology in France. Initially focused on fire protection (sprinkler tanks, firefighter reserves, RIA systems), the company quickly became a national leader, setting new industry standards with its galvanized steel tanks using integrated liner sealing systems.

In 1994, APRO Industrie diversified its offering to serve industrial clients and local authorities. It introduced glass-fused-to-steel tanks in France and expanded its range to include epoxy-coated tanks, adapted liner systems based on stored liquids, project-specific sealing solutions, and elastomeric gaskets.

This continuous innovation enables APRO to meet complex project requirements, offering storage capacities ranging from 10 to 10,000 m³, compatible with a wide variety of liquids.

With over 20,000 tanks installed worldwide and more than 12,000 completed projects, APRO Industrie relies on a dedicated team of 40 employees in France and a strong engineering department. Its experts design tailor-made storage solutions compliant with the most demanding international standards (EUROCODE, AWWA, FM, OSHA), ensuring the highest levels of safety and reliability.

All components undergo strict quality control at every stage: production testing, pre-shipment verification, and final on-site inspection. This guarantees long-term durability highly valued by both industrial and public sector clients.

Today, bolted steel tanks have become a market standard, progressively replacing traditional welded and concrete solutions thanks to their rapid installation, low maintenance, modularity, and long service life.

Present in over 50 countries, APRO Industrie delivers proven and reliable storage solutions backed by decades of expertise, innovation, and adaptability.
