ONE SEVEN – COMPANY
WHO WE ARE,
WHAT WE DO –
AND WHY.
IF YOU ARE INDUSTRY LEADER YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE THE BIGGEST COMPANY. BUT THE BEST.
Our core competencies are the development and manufacturing of modern extinguishing systems. As early as 1995 we specialized in the technology of compressed air foam systems. Today Schmitz One Seven GmbH is the global technology leader in this segment of fire fighting and holds numerous patents. These include the One Seven® technology which generates seven uniform foam bubbles from one drop of water using foam concentrate and compressed air.
In the early years One Seven concentrated on mobile fire protection. In close cooperation with Schmitz Fire & Rescue GmbH fire engines were equipped with One Seven® extinguishing systems. Customers have been professional fire brigades, company fire brigades as well as voluntary fire brigades. The first fixed extinguishing system was installed in 1999. Today we have extensive experience in the planning, design, manufacturing and installation of extinguishing systems in accordance with national and international standards (VdS, DIN, EN, NFPA). Our fixed extinguishing systems are used e.g. in recycling plants, in petrochemical plants, on offshore platforms and in road tunnels.
The reliability and continuous further development of our products are special concerns of our company – because fire protection means responsibility. In the event of a fire the quality of extinguishing systems and extinguishing agents determines whether people and infrastructures survive. We are committed to this with innovative technology from 25 years of experience.
