DUPONT
INTRODUCES ITS SCIENCE OF PROTECTION TEAM
For those of you that attended the recent FSSA annual
meeting in beautiful San Diego, California, we hope you had the
opportunity to meet the DuPont Science of Protection Team. We are
an experienced group of DuPont professionals dedicated to the fire
business. Our mission is to help protect lives and critical
assets through education/awareness of the value and importance of
suppression systems. We strive to motivate end-users and consultants to
specify clean agents for mission-critical applications and to provide
you with the support and tools needed to succeed in this rapidly
changing market. Those of us that are new to the fire industry
appreciate the warm welcome received at the annual meeting.
In addition to our current team, here is what you can
expect from us:
- Helen Lowery (an FSSA director) and
Jed Seay
will be circulating across the US and Canada.
- Rob Lee will be emphasizing
special projects and targeted market segments; looking for new market
sectors for suppression and ways to remove barriers to sale in our
traditional markets.
- Jill Moncarz will be creating the
tools we need to make our message more effective.
We have also expanded our Global team by adding resources
in other key regions. So, if you have a particularly challenging
situation, a potential suppression project or application that needs
support, or just need help shedding some illumination on the wonders of
clean agent fire protection, we can help. For more than 50 years,
DuPont has provided reliable, cost-effective clean agent fire
suppression solutions with a dedication to safety. Our long history of
success is the result of a close and active working relationship with
the critical suppression equipment providers, installing contractors,
and the many agents of influence that engage in fire suppression
projects.
For more information, call 1-800-473-7790.
