Siemens completes acquisition of Danfoss Fire Safety
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has finalised its acquisition of Danfoss Fire Safety, a Denmark-based specialist in fire suppression technology.
The strategic move is set to enhance Siemens’ fire suppression portfolio with high-pressure water mist and low-pressure CO2 solutions, driving growth in key industries and accelerating the transition towards sustainable fire safety.
“We are looking forward to working closely with our new colleagues after successfully concluding the acquisition of the fire safety business from Danfoss. With Danfoss Fire Safety’s efficient, non-polluting extinguishing system, we are able to serve customers globally with an environmentally friendly fire suppression solution,” said Susanne Seitz, CEO Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings.
The acquisition was announced on October 8, with Danfoss Fire Safety previously being a fully-owned, non-core business of Danfoss Group since 2019.
When the acquisition was announced, Danfoss fire safety was separated under a new legal entity known as ‘SEM-SAFE Fire Safety A/S, which it will continue to be known as for now, according to Siemens. That business employs around 125 people.
