Orr Protection Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orr Safety Corporation. Building on its skills and reputation for designing, installing, and servicing fire detection/suppression, Orr Protection Systems has emerged as the premier provider in the fire protection industry.

As an early leader in the fire protection industry, Orr Protection Systems became an expert in the installation and support of Halon 1301 systems. In 1987, as a result of the Montreal Protocol, industry was alerted that the manufacture of Halon would be discontinued by the year 2000. At this time Orr Protection Systems became proactive in its search for safe, reliable, clean agent alternatives. This foresight allowed Orr to gain a level of expertise and experience in the use of various Halon alternatives. Amendments to the Montreal Protocol were approved in November 1992 in Copenhagen that accelerated the schedule for phasing out these chemicals as of January, 1994. Today Halon 1301 is still used but it is in limited supply. Orr’s experience with the new alternative agents afforded our clients several alternatives to using Halon.

Orr Protection Systems, with over $100 million of installed projects in the telecommunications, manufacturing, hospital, commercial and institutional industries is uniquely qualified to supply your fire detection, suppression, and security needs. This experience is being bolstered by Orr Protection Systems’ commitment to obtain and maintain ISO-9000 certification.

Professional Sales Agents, Inc. (PSA), was established in 1978 to service the outside plant markets and the operating utilities serving this market. In the early 80’s, it became obvious that the industry was changing and new markets were needed. PSA opted to pursue the distributor channels and added the CPE market to their list. Over the next few years, products and people were added to the organization until it reached its current size.

Today, PSA supports an organization of more than 40 people. Each of these individuals is focused on sales. This sales force serves 17 States from 25 offices. These are located from Florida to North Carolina, Texas to Missouri. The product lines cover more than just the original outside plant areas, too. We continue to support outside plant, but have added a full compliment of power products, data and connectivity products as well as voice lines.
