This license will help strengthen the company's market position as the leaders in fire protection in India, by offering a complete range of fire safety products.<br><br>Gunnebo is the first company in India to receive this license, post the new standards for fire extinguishers, IS: 15683, starting this year. The standards are performance-based and similar to those being followed in most developed countries. They cover the entire range of portable fire extinguishers, making it convenient for both manufacturers and consumers. The fire extinguishers with these new standards are manufactured at Gunnebo's plant at Halol in Gujarat. The production has commenced in full swing and the products are now available in the marketplace as well.<br><br>"At Gunnebo we are committed to create a safer world. Our range of fire-extinguishers has already passed the stringent tests, as per the new BIS standards. With these licenses under new standards our channel partners and consultants will get an extra boost to take our products to the market," says Sandeep Deshpande, MD & CEO of Gunnebo India. Deshpande strongly believes as the number of corporate parks, complexes, shopping malls are increasing in the country, the landscape of the towns and cities are becoming more congested and therefore prone to accidental fire hazards. With the implementation of the new standards, quality products would be available, thus equipping the user to fight fire effectively.<br><br>Gunnebo is an international security group operating in 30 countries across the globe with a further presence in 100 markets through agents and distributors.</p>
