Our members will definitely benefit from the chance to work with SimplexGrinnell, an industry leader with over 150 years of history in fire protection.”

On the security side of the Tyco business, Tyco Integrated Security (TycoIS) was recently awarded a four-year renewal of its NJPA contract for security solutions and services. “Together SimplexGrinnell and TycoIS are honored to provide the best in fire and security to NFPA members while helping the organization fulfill its commitment to assist government and education entities as they strive for efficient public service,” added Madson.
