Who we are  

Since 2022 Cork has been chosen as the Centre of Excellence for Fire Detection Connected Services. This is due to the success of innovative products built by the team in Cork.

In 2018, facility managers and their teams have used the Xaap compliance reporting software to test nearly 84 million individual building devices, including fire alarms, extinguishers, security devices, sprinklers, and other systems across North America. Xaap has helped these customers identify more 1 million deficiencies within their building systems, uncovering many opportunities to improve building safety and compliance and save lives.

Now the next step in the journey is currently underway with some new projects and innovations built in Cork.
