WAGNER Group GmbH - Experts & Thought Leaders

WAGNER Group GmbH is continuing to expand its operations in North America. With the appointment of Dr. Kai Beckhaus as the new Managing Director of WAGNER Fire Safety Canada Ltd., based in Burlington (Ontario, Canada), the company has chosen a logistics expert who has already been responsible for WAGNER Fire Safety, Inc., the US subsidiary located in the Greater Chicago area, for nearly two years. WAGNER’s fire protection services Beckhaus brings solid market access in US and Canada, along with a well-established local network Dr. Beckhaus brings solid market access in both the US and Canada, along with a well-established local network. In his new role, he will continue to strengthen WAGNER’s team on the ground and activate synergies across the North American continent. This will provide market participants in the US and Canada with even more direct access to WAGNER’s fire protection systems and services, enabling them to fully benefit from the company’s solutions. Key factor in effective fire protection  “I look forward to working with the team in Canada to further develop the market for our high-performance fire protection solutions,” says Dr. Kai Beckhaus. “In particular, the principle of active fire prevention through oxygen reduction offers great potential to make applications such as logistics facilities and archives even safer here as well–safeguarding assets, supply chains, and operational continuity. Additionally, we support our Canadian customers with our aspirating smoke detectors for early fire detection. These systems are a key factor in effective fire protection for the emerging field of data centers, as well as many other industries.”

At FeuerTrutz, the globally renowned trade fair for preventive fire protection in Nuremberg, WAGNER will showcase its comprehensive fire protection solutions for various room sizes and applications from June 25–26, 2025 at Booth 4A-315. The focus will be on storage and logistics, as well as the rapidly growing IT and telecommunications sector, particularly on safeguarding data centers. Fire Protection for Control Cabinets The TITANUS RACK·SENS® aspirating smoke detector by WAGNER has been specifically designed for use in 19-inch server and control cabinets. By analyzing continuously drawn air samples, it can detect even the smallest traces of smoke. This enables early detection and immediate action in the event of a fire, preventing major consequential damage. WAGNER’s patented LOGIC·SENS® fire pattern recognition reliably distinguishes between real smoke and harmless disturbances, minimizing false alarms and avoiding costly downtime – especially critical in safety-sensitive environments. Automatic fire suppression activation The system is suitable for retrofitting and safeguards hardware, software, data, and network integrity The multi-level alarm concept of the TITANUS RACK·SENS® offers a graduated response, from internal alerts to automatic fire suppression activation. An optional integrated suppression system introduces a non-conductive, residue-free gas directly into the control cabinet in the event of a fire.  This ensures reliable fire suppression, protects electronic systems, and prevents smoke contamination. The suppression gas cylinder can be installed inside or outside the server cabinet. The system is also suitable for retrofitting and safeguards hardware, software, data, and network integrity. Sustainable: CO2-Neutral Fire Prevention System The OxyReduct® oxygen reduction system can prevent the outbreak of open fires in large protected areas, such as logistics facilities, under defined conditions. By introducing nitrogen, the oxygen concentration is reduced below the specific ignition threshold of the materials present. OxyReduct® is FM Approved, making it the top choice for companies that require FM quality. latest OxyReduct® F-Line nitrogen generator  The latest OxyReduct® F-Line nitrogen generator uses hydrogen-based fuel cell technology The latest OxyReduct® F-Line nitrogen generator uses hydrogen-based fuel cell technology. The nitrogen-rich exhaust generated during emissions-free, autonomous energy production is used to create the necessary protective atmosphere in the protected area. Thanks to its high efficiency, the fuel cell generates the required nitrogen from small amounts of hydrogen and additionally produces electricity and heat to power other systems – a step towards greater sustainability and CO2 neutrality in fire protection. Comprehensive Safety with Hazard Management WAGNER’s WinGuard hazard management system provides a holistic security concept. It is highly adaptable, integrates all building and hazard management components, and centralizes the visualization of events from different safety and information systems on a unified, user-friendly interface. This ensures maximum transparency and efficient action in the event of an incident. At FeuerTrutz, WAGNER will demonstrate its extensive expertise as a manufacturer and installer of fire protection systems – from research and development to planning, project design, installation, and maintenance for a wide range of applications, all from a single source.
