Founded in 1985, the company now supports tens of thousands of facilities worldwide with services that include fire protection engineering and design, inspection, testing, maintenance and risk mitigation.

We’ve earned the trust of some of the most respected brands in the world by listening, partnering, and consistently delivering. That trust is the foundation of our next 40 years.”
Telgian hosted a commemorative event at its Phoenix headquarters where representatives from major global brands spoke about their long standing partnerships with the company.

One senior executive from a Fortune 100 company said: “For decades, we have relied on Telgian as our trusted partner in fire protection and life safety. Telgian has helped shape how we design and implement fire protection, from performance-based design to emerging risks and code development, always keeping our associates and customers safe. Congratulations, Telgian, on 40 years of excellence.”
