Fenwal Protection Systems (FPS) is a brand specific business unit of the North American division of the United Technologies Fire & Security, a United Technologies Company. In early 2005, UTC acquired Kidde PLC, a UK company and combined this entity with previous acquisition, Chubb, PLC to form the UTC Fire & Security group, a $4.5B revenue operation with close to 55,000 employees. The size and stability of UTC will bring added opportunity and growth potential to the Fenwal brand.
