Carrier Global Corporation, a provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions, has acquired Cavius, a Danish residential alarm company that provides smoke, heat, flood and carbon monoxide alarms. Cavius has made many advances in alarm technology, including the invention of the world’s smallest photoelectric smoke alarm, which is distinguished by its European-approved micro-design. Cavius will strengthen Carrier Fire & Security's residential fire safety solutions in Europe, which includes leading Kidde products.
“The acquisition of Cavius, combined with the market strength of Kidde, will accelerate our innovation pipeline, grow our interconnected home safety offering and strengthen our professional and retail customer channels,” said Jurgen Timperman, president, Carrier Fire & Security. “Cavius’ broadly appealing products along with Carrier’s geographic presence will also provide unique opportunities to expand into new territories across Europe with the potential for further global expansion in key regions like Asia.”
