LAS VEGAS — United Technologies Corp. (UTC) will align its fire and security services business in the United States under the Chubb brand.

The U.S. business units involved are Antronnix, CalProtection, Detection Logic, Diversified Fire Products, Fire Systems Inc., Florida State Fire & Security, HFP Corporation, Lane Fire & Safety, Pratt Landry Associates, John W. Polhemus, Red Hawk, and Vantronics Security Systems.

"The transition is more than changing our name. We are transforming our business and are committed to providing the highest standard of service, professionalism and quality for our customers," says Sean Flint, president of UTC Fire & Security's services business in the Americas.

With nearly 10,000 technicians and more than 400 locations, Chubb serves more than one million customers worldwide. The company offers solutions that include installation, service, test and inspection, and monitoring of fire/life-safety systems, electronic and physical security solutions, and ATM services.

The company's fire and security service businesses in Canada, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, France and Belgium have already been consolidated under the Chubb name.

"Centralizing the service businesses in the U.S. aligns with UTC Fire & Security's long term global strategy," Flint says.

The new Chubb fire and security services business in the U.S. will migrate to a single Web site (www.chubbfs.com), phone number and identity for vehicles and uniforms.
