Apollo Fire Website Developed for North American Market

Louisville, Kentucky (June 16, 2011) – As UK-based Apollo Fire Detectors expands its presence in North America, the company has launched a dedicated Apollo America website, www.apollo-fire.com. The new site provides information on its commercial and industrial fire detection solutions, customized to the needs of North American customers.

The intuitive site highlights key regional distributor and approval information for North American users on the home page. With a large number of sales locations in the U.S., an interactive distributor map allows users to quickly find relevant contact information. Customers may also easily locate products from Apollo’s range of analog addressable and conventional smoke detection devices, sounders, beacons and manual call points that are UL, FM, CSFM, MEA, or MSFM approved.

A new dedicated website for Apollo’s North American customers, www.apollo-fire.com

Extensive technical backup and information on the whole product range is available on the site, with an apolloplus+ section for registered users to gain access to a deeper level of product documentation and photos. A unique project area saves selected information so that users can quickly access it again upon return. Visitors may sign up for the Apollo America e-blast newsletter to receive up to date information on key developments in the fire protection industry as well as new product information and Apollo news.
