In offering its clients a complete range,<br />
intended primarily for “strategic” sites,<br />
this line of business benefits from the highly<br />
reputed expertise of Tunzini Protection<br />
Incendie, the French market leader for new<br />
installations. This expertise was further<br />
strengthened by the acquisition in the year<br />
of Calanbau, the number three active fire<br />
protection company in Germany: through<br />

relates to sectors as diverse as electronics, food<br />
processing, automotive and large-scale retailing<br />
outlets, had a satisfactory year in <strong>1998</strong>.<br />
