Reemergence Date
The company reemerged under Lone Star's ownership following a significant corporate restructuring.
$3 Billion
Carve-out Value
The financial scale of the carve-out that enabled the company's separation from Carrier.
Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, it weaves together storied brands—Kidde, Edwards, GST, Badger, Gloria, Aritech—each bringing decades of fire-safety legacy.
Operating across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors, it tailors systems from single-home smoke alarms to integrated fire networks in complex structures.
Its financial backbone stems from a private-equity foundation; Lone Star’s investment enables nimble innovation and targeted growth.
Typical projects range from outfitting high-rise residential towers with smart alarm systems to deploying life-safety networks in hospitals and data centers.
It blends centuries of heritage with modern engineering—coalescing legacy brand expertise into a unified global safety powerhouse.
