All,

I’m delighted to announce that we are joining Ampac, a leading manufacturer of fire detection and evacuation systems. Ampac is part of Halma – a global group of almost 50 technology companies, employing over 8,000 people in more than 20 countries, with major operations in the UK, Mainland Europe, the USA and Asia Pacific. Halma is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 index.

This is an exciting development for GFE that will support our ambitions to expand our product range and accelerate our growth. I have been speaking with Halma and Ampac for quite a while, ensuring that they are the right home for our business, and I am confident that they will not only offer the stability and knowledge we need to continue pursuing our ambitions, but also the support to accelerate that growth. 

Throughout our discussions it also became clear that GFE’s purpose is strongly aligned to Ampac’s of preventing loss of life and catastrophic damage caused by fire. 

The opportunity to join Ampac is one that comes at the right time for us as a business. As a leader in fire safety systems, Ampac offer us the opportunity to accelerate our efforts of preventing deaths and/or damage by fire. At the same time, being part of a larger group offers us access to additional resources, networks and expertise that we would normally not have access to.   

For the immediate future, I will continue to focus on international sales and R&D projects. Current Operations Director, Fernando Oliveira, is being promoted to General Manager of GFE and will take over the day-to-day operations from me.

It’s important to note that we don’t anticipate any immediate changes to the way we work or any impact on roles – we carry on as we are, delivering the fantastic products and service we pride ourselves on and help customers around the world.

Kind regards, 

João Paulo Galvão

Durante os dias 30 de Abril, 1 e 2 de Maio decorreu na cidade de Birmingham em Inglaterra mais uma edição do evento Fire Safety Event (FSE), um dos principais eventos sobre segurança contra Incêndio em Inglaterra.

A NIBBLE participou pela primeira vez como expositor neste reputado certame em Inglaterra com o objetivo de apresentar aos principais players daquele mercado as soluções desenvolvidas pela empresa.

Para além da NURIA, central de deteção de incendio endereçável com protocolo Apollo, a equipa da NIBBLE teve a oportunidade de apresentar e demonstrar as novas soluções: Repetidor NURIA e a NURIA Cloud.

O stand foi visitado por um grande número de profissionais Ingleses mas também de outros países, como Portugal, Espanha, Malta, UK, Lituânia, Estónia, Islândia, China, Argélia, Quénia, entre outros.

A participação em eventos de grande reputação internacional no setor como é o caso do Fire Safety Event em Birmingham faz parte da estratégia de crescimento da NIBBLE.

No passado dia 1 de março de 2024, concluiu-se mais uma edição da Feira SICUR – Salão Internacional de Segurança em Madrid, uma das principais feiras europeias do setor e a maior da Península Ibérica. No âmbito da sua expansão internacional, a NIBBLE participou mais uma vez como expositor nesta reputada feira internacional do setor da Segurança Eletrónica, onde teve a oportunidade de apresentar as últimas novidades da NIBBLE e do seu parceiro APOLLO Fire, destacando-se o novo Repetidor NURIA, a NURIA Cloud e o Retentor de Porta da APOLLO.

O stand foi visitado por mais de uma centena de profissionais do setor provenientes de vários países, como Portugal, Espanha, Angola, México, Chile, Itália, Lituânia, Bulgária, Tunísia e Argélia, que tiveram a oportunidade de assistir a demonstrações dos produtos e esclarecer dúvidas com a equipa da NIBBLE. Foi possível verificar que a marca está cada vez mais reconhecida em Espanha, tanto por distribuidores como por integradores, que procuram qualidade, tecnologia e fiabilidade nas soluções de deteção de incêndio

We are proud to announce the completion of a project in which 682 solar panels were installed at our new production facilities in the Algarve region, with a total investment of 360 thousand Euros.

The construction of a sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing unit was one of our main prerequisites for the new factory. The Algarve is one of the sunniest locations in Europe, allowing us to maximize on-site solar energy production. The 682 solar panels generate around 300 kW of energy, meaning that 80% of the facility’s energy needs will be met by solar power. Our on-site solar energy production has seen an impressive 600% increase compared to our previous factory.

This investment was made under the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), which is funded by the European Union, offering the possibility of receiving a non-refundable grant covering 55% of the invested amount. The Industry Decarbonization Component C11 is a key part of the PRR, as it will help Portugal achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector.

The investment made by the entity G F E – GLOBAL FIRE EQUIPMENT – MONTAGEM DE EQUIPAMENTO ELECTRONICO, S.A. under this application is aimed at the installation of electricity generation systems using renewable energy sources for self-consumption, with a total investment of EUR 356,734.94.

The project “Consolidation of GLOBAL FIRE EQUIPMENT’s (GFE) Sustainable Energy Policy” was carried out within the framework of the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and is funded by the European Commission’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, under notice no. 03/C11-i01/2022 – Support for Industry Decarbonization.

Results Achieved:
