WAGNER Group GmbH, developer and producer of technical fire protection systems since 1976, has just become a member of CESIT, a French trade association of data-centre operators.

Its ambition is to form a group of IT and data-centres manufacturers and service providers in order to exchange information. By taking companies on as new members CESIT provides inter alia the opportunity of building so-called think tanks as to better understand the needs of the community. In addition, the newly generated information is to be used to develop relevant products, systems and services adjusted to the special needs of IT and data-centres.

With over 450 employees and a sales revenue of more than €70 million in the 2013/2014 financial year, WAGNER is continuing its expansive development, with locations in Germany, Belgium, China, Denmark, India, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Singapore, USA and the United Arab Emirates. Since end of 2012 WAGNER is represented with a French liaison office in Paris. 53-year-old Eric Lejars has headed it in March this year. He will be propelling the global technology leader in the field of fire detection and fire prevention on its world expansion course. Especially France offers great potential in positioning WAGNER's innovative fire protection solutions like the fire prevention system OxyReduct®. This is shown by the success of already installed systems in e.g. cold stores.
