30 Year Anniversary Series

A Conversation With Nick Mair – Ex Industries Managing Partner

Join the Effort – Mitigate the Risk

We spoke with Nicholas Mair, Managing Partner of the Ex Industries team about the company’s role in hazardous area electrical products and services, and how its approach has remained consistent over 30 years.

From your perspective, where does Ex Industries fit within the hazardous area electrical industry?

We sit firmly in the space of risk mitigation. Hazardous areas don’t allow shortcuts; everything has to be right. Our role is to help customers operate safely, remain compliant, and reduce risk in environments where the stakes are high. That’s what we do every day, whether it’s advising, supplying, or supporting hazardous area electrical systems.  

Can you talk about the types of products you provide?

Absolutely. We supply a full range of hazardous area electrical products, including:

  • Flameproof enclosures

  • Intrinsically safe instruments

  • Explosion-proof lighting

  • Control systems

  • Certified switchgear

In addition, we provide accessories such as junction boxes, cable glands, and conduit systems designed specifically for hazardous environments. Everything we supply is selected for compliance, durability, and safety in real-world industrial settings.  

Increase Safety. Reduce Risk. Remain Compliant.

Do you also provide services in addition to products?

Yes, and we find that’s just as important. We offer installation, maintenance, inspection, testing, and remediation of hazardous area equipment. Our goal is to help customers ensure their systems remain compliant and safe over time, not just at the point of installation.

That ongoing support plays a critical role in reducing risk and giving operators long-term confidence. 

Looking Ahead

We will continue focusing on what we do best: helping customers mitigate risk in hazardous area environments. That means supplying high-quality, certified products, providing practical services, and staying aligned with industry standards.

We’re not trying to be the biggest company in the industry — our goal is to be the most trusted and reliable partner in hazardous area electrical safety.
