Our Story
Our story began in 2017, with fire extinguishers stored in our garage and a lot of door knocking at local businesses.
With many years of experience in sales, having owned several successful businesses and worked extensively in the fire protection industry, we recognised a gap in the market for a company that could deliver a complete fire safety service alongside reliable product supply. From the beginning, our focus has been on offering great value and exceptional service to both businesses and homeowners.
As we’ve grown, so has our range. In addition to fire safety equipment, we now supply a broad range of hygiene products to support both commercial and private needs. This includes everything from cleaning essentials to vacuum cleaners and bags, helping our customers maintain safe, clean, and well-equipped environments.
Today, we are proud to partner with some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s top suppliers, supporting thousands of schools, offices, workshops, and other Kiwi businesses nationwide. We’re equally grateful for the many private individuals who trust our online store for their home and hygiene needs.
