COVID-19 Impacts Fire Alarm Manufacturers
In early April, we received notification that major fire alarm manufacturers who build and assemble their products in Mexico have been shut down by the government due to COVID-19 exposure in their production plants. Out of an abundance of caution there is currently no announced reopen date.

In the United States, as businesses open their doors and fire contractors go back to work, we’re already starting to see the impact of this manufacturing shutdown. Fire system contractors are experiencing delays in getting fire system parts which are impacting project schedules and delaying building openings. Manufacturers are shipping what limited stock they have in the US only for immediate need. As a result, US fire system parts are rapidly declining as new production has yet to refill the shelves. Manufacturers are estimating a 7-9 week delay and encouraging dealers to reach out to each other in hopes of acquiring spare inventory.
