Our company
Protecting your people and property from fire
Vipond started as a small family-owned business in 1969, supplying fire suppression equipment to businesses in and around East Kilbride, Scotland. As the UK introduced new fire safety legislation during the 1970s and 80s, the business grew into a highly respected expert in the field, with customers spread throughout the country. Our continued growth and reputation for excellence led to our acquisition by Vipond Inc. of Canada in 1998.
We are now proudly owned by Chubb Fire & Security, part of APi Group, the world’s largest provider of life safety and security solutions. As part of a global network of life safety specialists, Vipond Fire Protection combines high-quality, meticulous project delivery with cutting-edge innovation and technical expertise. We remain agile and responsive to customers’ needs while drawing on an abundance of talent, resources, and experience.
Our solutions include fire sprinkler systems for offices, residential properties, large commercial spaces, and manufacturing premises; dry and wet risers for high-rise buildings; gas suppression for server farms and data centres; and kitchen fire suppression systems for catering businesses.
Through Chubb Fire & Security, we also provide a comprehensive portfolio of site security solutions, including CCTV, access control, intruder detection, and remote monitoring.
Our expert designers work closely with businesses to understand their specific use cases and ensure our solution meets their exact requirements. We also offer training, maintenance, and emergency repair services to new and existing customers to keep their detection and suppression systems optimised and their people and property always protected.
Protect your people, property, and assets from the threat of fire.
