AFP will be Showcasing Innovative Pressure Relief Solutions at Intersec Dubai 2026

AFP is proud to announce our participation in Intersec Dubai 2026, the region’s premier fire and rescue exhibition. From 12 to 14 January, we will be showcasing our innovative pressure relief solutions, designed to protect critical facilities such as data centers, airports, hospitals and more. 

Visitors can explore our specialized vents, gain expert insights, and learn how AFP products are engineered to perform reliably in demanding environments.

What is Intersec Dubai?

Intersec Dubai is one of the world’s largest trade fairs dedicated to safety, security, and fire protection. The exhibition is divided into five key segments: 

1. Commercial & Perimeter Security
2. Cyber Security
3. Fire & Rescue
4. Homeland Security & Policing
5. Safety & Health

Each segment brings together leading manufacturers, distributors, and specialists to showcase the newest technologies and solutions in their field.

For AFP, the focus lies within the Fire & Rescue segment. This is where fire protection professionals gather to explore the latest innovations in firefighting equipment, fire suppression systems, and safety technologies. 

By presenting our advanced pressure relief vents, we contribute to the solutions that protect buildings and critical infrastructure during fire suppression or arc fault events.

A leading international fire & rescue exhibition

Intersec is recognized as the premier fire protection and rescue exhibition in the Middle East. It brings together not only hundreds of companies with exhibition stands, but also a rich program of supporting events that make the show more than just a trade fair.

One of the highlights is the Intersec Awards, where innovative products, projects, and companies are recognized for shaping the future of safety and fire protection. Receiving an award at Intersec is seen as a mark of international excellence, as winners are selected by independent industry experts and judged against global standards.

The exhibition also hosts specialized conferences, covering topics such as fire safety engineering, fire suppression technologies, and risk management in critical infrastructure. These sessions give professionals the opportunity to learn directly from global thought leaders and regulators.

In addition, visitors can attend live demonstrations and hands-on workshops. For fire and rescue professionals, this means seeing the latest equipment and technologies in action. Think of fire suppression system tests or personal protective gear trials.

Why Dubai is the perfect stage

Dubai is a strategic hub for professionals from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Its central location makes it an accessible meeting point for international visitors. 

For AFP, this is especially relevant, as we have developed several venting solutions tailored to the climate and infrastructure needs of this specific region. Presenting our products at Intersec Dubai 2026 allows us to directly connect with industry leaders who are seeking reliable fire safety solutions for challenging environments.

Why AFP is attending Intersec in 2026

As a specialist in pressure relief vents, AFP belongs firmly in the Fire & Rescue segment of Intersec. Our products are designed to protect buildings and critical infrastructure during fire suppression events and electrical arc faults, making them highly relevant to the challenges faced in the region. 

By attending Intersec Dubai 2026, we aim to present our solutions, exchange knowledge, and strengthen connections within the global fire safety community.

Bringing our expertise to the Arab region

In the Arab region, fire protection faces unique challenges. The hot and dry climate, combined with dust, sand, and sharp humidity shifts, puts constant stress on safety equipment. 

On top of that, facilities are often large-scale, sealed, and heavily air-conditioned, which means that when a fire suppression system discharges, pressure inside the room can rise or drop very quickly. Without reliable venting, this can damage walls, ceilings, or sensitive equipment.

These factors demand venting systems that are not just standard, but engineered for resilience. And that is exactly where AFP makes the difference. We offer venting solutions designed specifically for demanding environments like in the Arab region, where extreme temperatures and airborne particles are part of daily reality. By combining precision design with proven durability, we deliver solutions that continue to perform where other products may falter.

Beyond regional challenges, AFP has built its reputation on more than specifications. Our vents are developed through engineering models, tested in real-world scenarios, and validated by independent third parties. This ensures that performance is proven in practice, not just on paper. For this reason, AFP is regarded as a trusted partner worldwide when it comes to pressure relief vents.

Meeting industry leaders face-to-face

Technology speaks for itself, but personal contact makes the difference. Intersec offers AFP the chance to meet industry leaders, engineers, and decision-makers face-to-face. These conversations provide valuable insights into the specific fire safety challenges in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. 

Networking on-site also helps us build long-term relationships, ensuring our solutions are aligned with the needs of the region. Attending Intersec Dubai 2026 is therefore not just about presenting products, it is about understanding the market and working together to raise fire safety standards.

What you can expect from AFP at Intersec

At Intersec Dubai 2026, AFP will present our specialized pressure relief vents to the international fire and rescue community. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn how our solutions protect critical facilities during fire suppression or electrical arc fault events. Beyond products, we will also share our knowledge and expertise, offering valuable insights into the role of venting in modern fire protection.

Innovative pressure relief solutions

At Intersec Dubai 2026, AFP will showcase the latest developments in pressure relief technology. Our solutions are designed to protect facilities where fire suppression or sudden pressure events could otherwise cause structural damage or put critical equipment at risk. 

Visitors will get a clear view of how our vents operate and why they are trusted in high-value, high-risk environments around the world.

Two key product lines will be highlighted:

• Gas suppression vents. These vents are engineered for systems that use different types of gases to suppress fires without damaging sensitive equipment. The vents release pressure safely and evenly, preventing structural damage while ensuring the suppression system works effectively. Ideal for data centres, hospitals, and other high-value facilities.
• Blast protection vents. Designed for facilities at risk of arc flash or sudden explosions, these vents absorb and redirect explosive forces to protect walls, ceilings, and equipment. They provide an extra layer of safety in power generation plants, industrial sites, and infrastructure with high-risk equipment.

Demonstrations & expert insights

At Intersec Dubai 2026, AFP will bring pressure relief vents to life through detailed video presentations. Visitors can see exactly how our vents operate in real-world scenarios, from safely releasing pressure in gas fire suppression systems to protecting infrastructure from arc blasts events.

Alongside the visuals, our technical experts will be on hand to provide insights and answer questions. They can explain key considerations for selecting and installing vents, share best practices, and discuss how AFP solutions address challenges in demanding environments.

This combination of visual demonstrations and expert guidance allows visitors to fully understand the capabilities of AFP products and how they can be applied to protect critical facilities worldwide.

Your chance to meet the AFP team

At this event you will have the opportunity to meet the people behind AFP. Our specialists will be on-site to discuss projects, regional challenges, and practical applications of our products. 

Whether you are seeking tailored advice for a facility, or simply want to learn more about the role of pressure relief vents in fire safety, we welcome you to stop by our stand. This face-to-face contact is the best way to explore how AFP can support your fire protection needs.
