HISTORY

SimplexGrinnell was established in 2001, the result of a merger under Tyco International of Simplex and Grinnell, two longtime leaders in the fire industry. Simplex had for decades been recognized as the leader in electronic fire alarm systems. Grinnell was the longtime industry leader in fire sprinkler and suppression, with a heritage in fire protection that reached back to the 1880s, when Frederick Grinnell patented the first automatic sprinkler. Today, the history, strength and experience of both Simplex and Grinnell have been melded into SimplexGrinnell.
