Why work with us

Ei Electronics home life safety solutions, fire detection and carbon monoxide products have been keeping families safe in their homes for generations – both in Ireland and globally.

In a business where lives are at risk, nothing can be left to chance. Over the years, we have worked hard to build and nurture a reputation for unrivalled product quality assurance in our sector. The highest standards of quality underpin all of our manufacturing processes and products.

As an integral part of our assembly process, each individual alarm is tested and calibrated in the relevant environment in which it is expected to operate - that is Smoke, Heat or Carbon Monoxide.

Every single alarm is tested at multiple points to ensure it meets the highest quality standards.
