The French Chamber and Industry in the philippines is pleased to welcome Flowstop Industrie as its new SME member!
FlowStop addresses one of the most devastating consequences of climate change: flooding — the natural disaster responsible for the greatest economic damage worldwide.
According to a 2020 World Bank study, 1.47 billion people — nearly 19% of the global population — are directly exposed to flood risk. In most cases, floodwater levels do not exceed 80 cm, meaning significant damage can be prevented with the right protection solution.
FlowStop is an inflatable flood protection device designed to secure all types of openings, including doors, French doors, and garage doors, without requiring installation work. It inflates within minutes, stores compactly, and offers a more effective and cost-efficient alternative to traditional flood barriers.
FlowStop helps protect critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, hotels, tourist sites, cultural heritage buildings, and other essential facilities, ensuring they remain operational when it matters most.
The technology is patent-protected in Europe and the United States.
