FIREX SAFETY SOLUTION

1. Founding and Legal Structure

In 2013, a group of seasoned fire‑protection professionals recognized a growing need for high‑quality, affordable safety equipment in the industrial and residential sectors of North India. Acting on this insight, Mr. Ashok Kumar established Firex Safety Solutions as a sole proprietorship headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana—a strategic location that offers excellent connectivity to the major manufacturing hubs of Delhi‑NCR as well as to the broader northern Indian market.

The company was formally registered under the Indian Companies Act, with all requisite trade licences and fire‑safety certifications obtained from the National Fire Service College (NFSC), the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), and local fire‑department authorities. This legal framework ensures that Firex operates in full compliance with national safety regulations and international best practices.

4. Supplier Relations and Quality Assurance

Firex places supplier reliability at the heart of its procurement strategy. Our sourcing process involves:

1. Pre‑qualification: Potential vendors undergo a rigorous audit that evaluates manufacturing facilities, ISO 9001 certification status, and compliance with BIS fire‑safety standards.
2. Sample Testing: Before a full‑scale order is placed, sample units are subjected to in‑house functional testing (e.g., discharge pressure for sprinklers, detection sensitivity for smoke alarms) conducted by certified fire‑engineers.
3. Periodic Review: Supplier performance is monitored through a quarterly scorecard covering delivery punctuality, defect rates, and after‑sales service responsiveness.

All incoming inventory is recorded in a warehouse management system (WMS) that tracks batch numbers, expiry dates (where applicable), and storage conditions, thus guaranteeing product integrity up to the point of delivery.

 

5. Pricing Philosophy

Understanding the budget constraints of small‑scale manufacturers, educational institutions, and residential complexes, Firex adopts a transparent, value‑based pricing model:

• Competitive Baselines: Prices are benchmarked against national averages and adjusted to reflect bulk‑order discounts.
• No Hidden Costs: All quotations include GST, freight (where applicable), and standard warranty coverage, eliminating surprise charges.
• Flexible Payment Terms: For long‑term clients, we offer credit periods of up to 30 days, as well as secure online payment gateways for swift transaction processing.

This approach has helped the company build a loyal client base that repeatedly returns for upgrades and maintenance contracts.
