Dear Customer, Being successful in today’s fast paced environment requires a transformation of the way we do business. At Danfoss Semco, and in the fire fighting business in general, we are faced with an interesting dilemma. Our industry has safety as the number one objective, both in terms of protecting human life and safeguarding material assets. This leads to a very conservative approach and thus slow adoption of new technology and processes. Our water mist technology offers a long list of benefits to both designers, architects and installers on top of the significantly shorter down time in case of fire due to low water damage. Likewise our customers see many operational advantages in changing from high-pressure CO₂ systems to low-pressure CO₂ systems. But offering the best products and solutions on the market is not sufficient to succeed. To gain customer loyalty we must also be the best in our day-to-day interaction with you our customers. To Danfoss Semco this means that we must be EASY TO DO BUSINESS WITH. Easy to do business with means that all business transactions are fast and simple and we meet or exceed your expectations in terms of both quality and delivery. In 2015 we are implementing many new processes and tools to support our ambition. The first step is the launch of our new portal where user friendliness has been the most important design parameter. I hope you will enjoy our new website and look forward to doing business with you.

In 2009 IMO implemented new rules for the maintenance and inspections of fixed carbon dioxide systems which applies to all installations.

Using our knowledge on the servicing and manufacturing of fire protection systems could ease the service process in order to have fire protection systems in good order readily available for immediate use while the ship is in service. Our experience is that the Maritime Classes have focused on how the service and maintenance of fire protection systems has been conducted. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance in servicing your fire fighting system.
