Q. Minimax Fire Extinguishers has gained remarkable positioning in
the fire & safety solutions industry; please share with us how did
the company achieve this position?
Minimax was established in India with a manufacturing plant located in Kolkata
way back in 1903 and is undoubtedly the first Fire Extinguisher brand in India.
Later in 1973, the brand was transferred to Steelage Industries, which was
subsequently renamed Gunnebo India Pvt Ltd in 2005. Fire Extinguishers and
accessories under this brand continue to be manufactured by Gunnebo India
at its factory in Halol, Gujarat, since 2012. Halol factory is among the eight
factories of Gunnebo worldwide. It follows the highly efficient Gunnebo
Operations System (GOS), which focuses on quality, delivery, cost, use
of resources, health & safety and securing employee commitment to
drive continuous improvement and bring customer value. The factory
complex also houses a fully equipped lab and fire room to support
the continuous development and ensures consistent quality.

than century in India; please outline its overall
