DPI has been in the personal protective equipment business for more than 100 years. Can you briefly tell us your history?
DPI has been contributing to the protection of people's health all over the world for more than 100 years. It all began in 1920, when Pirelli developed the first gas masks and diving equipment for the Italian army.
The road from 1920 is full of goals, such as the creation of the first self-contained breathing apparatus in 1935, the birth of the Sèkur brand and the implementation of a complete range of respiratory protection devices, like our SCBA Diablo, a stable and reliable product that protects firefighters worldwide.
In 2021 we became part of the main Italian industrial group, Leonardo, who recognized us as an absolute excellence in qualified respiratory protection.
What are the main capabilities and attributes of today's DPI?
DPI has specialized skills in the CBRN, civil and industrial sectors, built up through its experience with the Pirelli Group, and further enhanced by joining Leonardo Group.
Besides a leading position on the domestic market, DPI is also well-known abroad, with significant and consolidated presences not only in the European Union but also in many countries of the five continents.
Fast, flexible and consumer-oriented thanks to tailor-made projects and solutions to meet the needs of our 4000 customers in more than 40 countries.
Our products are entirely manufactured in our factory in Rome, equipped with automated plants, a sophisticated Research and Development Centre, focused on innovation, quality and design of our solutions, and an in-house experimental laboratory.
How does it benefit your company to have an in-house R&D and experimental laboratory?
Our in-house R&D department allows us to constantly innovate so to always meet the needs of end users. moreover, the in-house experimental laboratory, equipped with the main instrumentations required by European standards, gives us flexibility, rapidity and more control in the development of new solutions.
Does DPI design dedicated solutions for firefighters?

We develop state-of-the-art technologies in cooperation with fire brigades around the world and with the safety managers of many petrochemical plants. In doing so, we constantly up-grade our products, as you will see at Interschutz 2022, to protect the safety of people in the most extreme situations.
