AICO -

THE SPECIALIST SUPPLIER

Many years of experience in both its professional management and technical sales support teams, coupled with a high standard of service and back-up, have enabled Aico to firmly establish the Ei Professional range of fire detection products as the first choice for specifiers, installers, housing associations, local authorities and builders throughout the UK.

In-house technical support continues to play a very vital role, together with a dedicated ongoing education process for wholesalers, specifiers and installers. Aico is also fully committed to an ongoing programme of total product awareness, demonstrating the need for effective fire detection and providing guidance on all aspects of system design, installation and maintenance through seminars, professional videos, CD-ROMs and support literature.

High quality products demand a high standard of service and support. Making it as easy as possible for customers to buy “what they want - when they want” is another priority, and high levels of stock (plus a rapid delivery service to wholesale distributors) is a further demonstration of Aico’s total commitment to the fire safety industry.
