DAFO VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Dafo was founded in 1919 by Nils Forssberg and John Danielson under the name Danielson Forssberg & Co. In the mid-70s, the name was changed to Dafo Brand, where DAFO is an abbreviation of DAnielson and FOrssberg.
The company started to trade with portable fire extinguishers with the tradename of Pyrene. Pyrene, the first halon extinguisher, was part of Dafo’s product range from the late 1960s. After trading various types of products, Dafo decided to fully commit to becoming a wholesaler with a complete range of fire protection products in the mid-’70s at the time of changing the name to Dafo.
Dafo was one of the first global companies that started to develop integrated firefighting solutions for vehicles back in 1976. This was due to the demand from the insurance industry, which requested forestry machinery to be equipped with fire suppression systems to get proper insurance.
