UTC Fire & Security India opens a world-class fire suppression systems factory in Bangalore. The facility was officially inaugurated by UTC Fire & Security President Scott Buckhout and the Minister of Public Works for the state of Karnataka CM Udasi.
“This factory represents yet another major step towards expanding our presence in India and is a key milestone in our expansion plans for the fire suppression business globally, enabling us to bring the most effective and advanced fire safety solutions to customers,” said Buckhout. “We have the right mix of products to meet India’s needs as the fire and security industry continues to grow, and we are committed to supporting the Indian government’s efforts to develop the regulations needed to protect people and assets throughout the country.”
