MARINETTE, Wisc.--The grand opening of a new 10,600-square-foot Tyco Fire Technology Center takes place here today.
Marinette is the hometown of fire extinguisher systems manufacturer Ansul. The company, which has been a division of Tyco Fire and Security since 1990, is a descendent of Ansul Chemical Company, which was founded here in 1915.
The new center represents a $4 million investment in the Marinette operation for continued growth of the Ansul business, Tyco officials said.
The facility will house instructional classrooms for technical products and technology education, a conference and product display room, a live burn room and a 27-acre campus set up for various industrial-type burning/fire suppression demonstrations. It will be a resource for sales, technical, marketing personnel and end users as well.
