The manufacturer Comelit UK has become a member of the trade body the Fire Industry Association (FIA) after the firm showed its new fire division, at IFSEC 2018. Pictured are Colin Smith, Fire Manager at the company’s IFSEC exhibition stand at London Excel, alongside Francesca Boeris, Managing Director of Comelit UK.
The Italian door entry manufacturer now offers automatic fire detection systems, including conventional and addressable panels, as already sold on the Continent.
Colin Smith says: “One of my first priorities in my new role was to ensure Comelit joined the FIA. This was not only to cement our commitment to the fire industry but also define our position in alignment with an organisation that can set industry best practice, shape standards and influence legislation.
“I am looking forward to attending the FIA networking events and conference opportunities, to raise awareness of our new fire division, and with an ability to present a portfolio of products that achieves the highest safety standards, without compromising on the style and aesthetic that is synonymous with the Comelit brand.”
Comelit will now be able to present its membership of FIA with use of its logo on all printed and digital media. Kat Schabowska, Marketing Executive at the FIA added: “The FIA has a duty to inform the public about good practice. Employers in particular are often confused about their responsibilities, and it is our duty to provide the necessary guidance and requirements to achieve the standards. We are delighted to welcome Comelit UK on board as it launches into the fire industry. What this demonstrates is a commitment to offering products and services to the highest standards, which achieve our strict membership criteria. We look forward to working with Colin and the team.”
