Danone is a global pioneer in dairy, water and baby nutrition products, with well-known brands including Actimel, Evian and Cow & Gate. They are delighted to have completed a number of Sprinkler and Fire Alarm & Detection installations for Danone over the last ten years in their various Manufacturing Facilities.
In Macroom, where they produce infant and follow-on formula, they designed, supplied and retro-fitted a Sprinkler System to FM Global standards into an existing Powder Milk Production area. Some of the works took place in High Care Hygienically Sterile areas which posed particular challenges to the installation team. All works were successfully completed to the satisfaction of Danone and FM Global.

They completed their first project on the Macroom Facility in 2011 and they have completed a number of alterations since, as extensions were built and production lines were refined. Working alongside local management, they also provide Service and Maintenance support.
