Dräger’s fire & gas business unit is a leading player in the field of fire and gas detection projects and maintenance in the Netherlands, employing approximately 120 employees. It focuses on the sale, design and commissioning of large-scale fire, gas detection and evacuation systems in the utility market, such as hotels, offices, warehouses, museums, government buildings, parking garages, schools, nursing homes, shopping centers and hospitals. The business unit also provides service and maintenance of these systems, as well as the supply and maintenance of fire extinguishing materials and emergency lighting.

Dräger’s fire & gas business unit is part of Dräger Nederland B.V., ultimately owned by publicly listed company Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA.
