FLEXOO and STIF Announce Strategic Partnership to Enhance BESS Safety

Partnership to improve BESS safety standards

FLEXOO, a leader in printed electronics and sensor technology, today announced a strategic partnership with STIF, a globally recognized provider of fire and explosion protection solutions. The collaboration aims to significantly improve safety standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) worldwide.

STIF, through its VIGILEX Energy brand, has established itself as a premier supplier of passive safety systems to leading BESS manufacturers and operators globally. FLEXOO's in-situ battery cell sensors complement this expertise by providing real-time temperature and pressure monitoring at the cellular level, enabling active system by early detection of potential thermal runaway conditions before they escalate to catastrophic failures.

Partnership creates BESS safety ecosystem

The partnership creates a comprehensive safety solution that addresses both prevention and protection aspects of BESS installations, critical for the growing renewable energy storage market.

"Our customers demand the highest level of protection for their energy storage investments," said José Burgos, CEO of STIF "By integrating FLEXOO's advanced cellular monitoring technology with our explosion protection systems, we can offer unprecedented safety performance that protects not just the equipment, but also personnel and surrounding infrastructure."

Michael Kröger, founder and CEO of FLEXOO, added: "The combination of real-time cellular monitoring with STIF's proven protection technologies creates a safety ecosystem that addresses the root causes of BESS incidents. This partnership allows us to bring our innovative printed sensor technology to a wider market through STIF's established global presence."

The first collaborative solutions will be showcased at The Smarter E exhibition in Munich this May, where STIF will feature FLEXOO technology at their booth. FLEXOO will also maintain a separate presence at the exhibition to demonstrate their full range of printed electronics solutions.
