Kidde Fire Systems, Fenwal Protection Systems and Chemetron Fire Systems to be united under one brand

Earlier this month, Kidde Fire Systems, part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, announced the unification of Fenwal Protection Systems and Chemetron Fire Systems into one brand, the newly expanded Kidde Fire Systems.

According to a statement, the transition will strengthen the company’s customer focus, increase service and training efficiency, emphasize expertise in an array of vertical segments, and accelerate product and technology development.  

“This unification sharpens our customer focus and leverages our collective leadership in the industry. Combining the unique strengths of these three UTC Building & Industrial Systems special hazard fire protection brands into one strengthens our ability to provide flexibility and efficiencies to our customers,” said Mike Burcham, president and general manager, Kidde Fire Systems.

The new Kidde Fire Systems will offer an optimized product platform, drawing on the strongest technologies from each of its previous three brands to serve all commercial and industrial suppression segments.

In addition, Kidde Fire Systems will benefit from a combined, experienced sales team that will focus on important vertical segments, which include industrial processing/manufacturing; high-tech/data centers; petroleum, oil and gas/power generation; commercial cooking; marine; and off-road/mining vehicles.

“This move will allow us to focus our efforts as one team. As a result of expected synergies, we anticipate introducing our newest customer-focused technologies even faster, benefiting everyone involved,” said Burcham.

The first new Kidde Fire Systems product platform will be available in early 2015, showcasing enhanced system performance.
