Apollo is a market leading provider of high-quality fire detection solutions for commercial and industrial applications.
Population growth and increasing urbanisation have led to stricter safety regulations globally to protect people and their environment. The company has been looking to expand its product offering to grow the business.
In February 2023, Halma acquired Thermocable, a leading developer and manufacturer of temperature sensitive cables, installed in areas at risk of overheating and fire, which trigger an alert when they detect a change of temperature. Its technology enables Apollo to address a greater range of customer needs in challenging infrastructure and industrial applications such as tunnels and solar energy farms.
“With the acquisition of Thermocable, we will further enhance Apollo’s existing strengths in fire detection and alarm systems for industrial and commercial customers. Its specialist technologies offer an extra layer of protection to help extinguish fires at the source before they cause serious harm and are highly aligned with Apollo’s purpose to protect people and their environment.”
Charles Lombard, Acting Managing Director, Apollo
