JOSE BURGOS

About JOSE BURGOS

José Burgos is the Chief Executive Officer of STIF, a French family-owned industrial group historically known for bulk-handling equipment and, more recently, for dust explosion protection systems. He is also one of the key architects of STIF’s listing on Euronext Growth Paris in December 2023, a move designed to support a new phase of financing, expansion, and strategic development. He joined the company in 1988 alongside his father and founder, Manuel Burgos, and built his career within the group over time. STIF describes his background as spanning commercial and operational leadership, with a strong focus on international development. He played a central role in expanding the company’s partner network, first in Asia and later in North America, while helping diversify the business across products and markets. With a business-school education focused on finance, Burgos developed an entrepreneurial style centered on industrial growth, international expansion, and innovation. Under his leadership, STIF made a decisive strategic shift in 2022 toward Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), entering a fast-growing market where explosion protection is becoming increasingly important. That strategic pivot materially changed the company’s scale and broadened its exposure to the renewable-energy ecosystem. As a listed-company executive, he has overseen STIF’s transition from a private family business into a more visible capital-markets player, while maintaining a strong industrial identity and family ownership structure. He has emphasized disciplined investment, international commercialization, and the development of certified solutions for niche markets with strong growth potential. In 2024, his entrepreneurial track record was recognized with the EY Family Business Award for the West region, highlighting both his leadership and the company’s long-term transformation.
