Bringing 35 years of personal experience, Sıtkı Engin noted that STS Yangın Korunum has spent 25 years installing and maintaining fire suppression systems for industrial facilities, primarily in the composite and chemical sectors. Attending TURKCOMPOSITE for the first time, Engin described the 2026 exhibition as highly productive for both visiting companies and exhibitors.

Engin emphasized that every facility requires a custom-engineered project built to international standards, recommending that project designers also oversee on-site implementation to ensure accuracy. As composite adoption grows across aerospace, defense, and automotive, he pointed out that fire safety directly affects supply chain continuity—noting that clients now audit production and storage sites themselves to prevent disruptions.

Addressing students and young engineers, Engin highlighted that fire protection spans gas, water, and foam suppression alongside detection systems, calling it a timeless profession with lasting career opportunities.
