Generations of protection

Fike Corporation’ s third‐generation leadership manufactures solutions to prevent catastrophic industrial fires and explosions worldwide

Beginning as a metal fabrication business in 1945, Fike Corporation( Fike) was founded in Independence, Missouri by Les Fike Snr. Following a request from a large company to manufacture rupture discs, the founder agreed, and his response launched what would become Fike: a global life safety organization which spans three generations of leadership. Today, the company is headquartered in Blue Springs, Missouri and has grown from a start-up into a globally recognized supplier of industrial safety solutions installed across a wide spectrum of industries, including pharmaceutical operations, telecommunications, food processing plants and high‐tech data centers.

Serving Fortune 500 organizations and critical facilities around the world, Fike is a specialist in precision‐engineered protection technologies, with products designed to prevent catastrophic events rather than simply respond to them. From humble beginnings, the company has built an international footprint that reflects the critical nature of its mission. In addition to its US operations, the business operates manufacturing facilities in Belgium, Wales, Canada, and India, supported by sales and service offices throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, ensuring customers have local expertise backed by a consistent global standard of safety.
