About Stif Sa

José Burgos is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of STIF SA, a French industrial group listed on Euronext Growth Paris and specialized in explosion protection for industrial and energy applications. He holds a business degree from ESG Paris, with a specialization in finance, and joined the family company in 1998 as a sales executive. Over time, he expanded his responsibilities into operational leadership, business development, and international management. Corporate governance documents show that he has combined the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since September 7, 2023, reflecting a highly integrated leadership structure. With more than 25 years inside the group, José Burgos has been central to STIF’s evolution from a manufacturer historically focused on bulk-handling components into a broader industrial safety player. He has helped drive the company’s international expansion, with a footprint in Singapore, Indonesia, China, and the United States, and has contributed to building a global commercial organization. STIF states that he leads the development strategy, particularly the commercial rollout in France and abroad, while founder Manuel Burgos remains focused on investment and innovation. Under his leadership, STIF has accelerated diversification into dust explosion protection and, more recently, into protection solutions for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), which the company presents as a major growth engine. The group emphasizes new certified product ranges, recent acquisitions, and an ambition to scale internationally. José Burgos is also identified as the group’s principal shareholder, reinforcing a long-term alignment between leadership decisions and value creation. His profile combines industrial know-how, financial training, commercial execution, and an ability to steer niche technical markets through international growth.
