About Amerex
Amerex Corporation® is a leading U.S. manufacturer of high-performance firefighting products, headquartered in Trussville, Alabama. The company specializes in hand portable and wheeled fire extinguishers for commercial and industrial use, as well as advanced fire and explosion suppression systems designed for military and vehicle applications. Amerex's continued innovation has also led to the development of automatic restaurant fire suppression systems, vehicle fire suppression units, gas detection technologies, industrial protection systems, and fire detection equipment.
Founded in 1971 by Ned Paine and George Baureis, Amerex quickly established itself as a trusted name in fire safety. Paine remained actively involved until his retirement in 1999, the same year Amerex was acquired by McWane, Inc.
In 2010, Amerex emerged as a key subcontractor for the U.S. military by supplying fire suppression systems for military vehicles, especially those deployed in conflict zones where the risk of mines and improvised explosive devices is high. Amerex's systems, integrated with optical sensors and automated suppressant jets, are used in vehicles produced by Oshkosh Corporation, a major manufacturer of military-grade transport.
Further expanding its global reach, Amerex acquired The Solberg Company in 2011, a firefighting equipment manufacturer based in Bergen, Norway.
Today, Amerex manufactures approximately 2.5 million fire extinguishers annually, with product demand closely tied to economic trends and new commercial construction. According to company leadership, Amerex continues to grow by advancing safety through innovation, reliability, and quality.
Since 1999, Fire Safety Supply has been the go-to for fire suppression products, industrial dry chemical systems, high and low-pressure CO2, vehicles, and clean agents. We serve various types of industries such as restaurants, commercial kitchen, wineries, and more.
