Industrial Fire and Explosion Protection Company
For more than 40 years, Suppression Systems, Inc. (SSI) has earned the trust of enterprise clients by providing specialized engineering, turnkey installation, and 24/7 lifecycle service for critical assets where ordinary commercial sprinklers are not an option.
Built on Engineering Integrity Since 1983
When a fire or combustible dust deflagration threatens an industrial processing facility, data center, power plant, or pharmaceutical suite, standard commercial sprinkler systems can cause as much catastrophic business interruption and collateral damage as the hazard itself.
Suppression Systems, Inc. was established in 1983 to solve this exact challenge. Rather than general fire protection, our engineers and field specialists dedicate 100% of our focus to special hazards, clean agent suppression, and industrial explosion protection.
From custom hydraulic design to union-coordinated installation and 24/7/365 emergency field service, we deliver the specialized competence required to protect high-value mission-critical operations.
Operating continuously since 1983 with foundational staff members—including our very first installer hired in 1984—still actively leading our field crews today.
Our factory-certified service technicians carry over 160 years of combined hands-on experience troubleshooting, testing, and restoring specialized life-safety systems.
10 Reasons Industry Leaders Choose SSI
Our reputation is built on specific, measurable capabilities that separate our special hazard team from general commercial contractors.

Special Hazard & Explosion Specialists
We are not a general sprinkler contractor doing clean agents on the side. We specialize exclusively in explosion protection, clean agent gas, hybrid water mist, and early detection.
End-to-End Turnkey Accountability
From initial hazard characterization and CAD system design to project management, field installation, and ongoing maintenance, you work with one accountable partner throughout the system lifespan.
Dedicated Project Management
Every contract is assigned a dedicated Project Manager who reviews engineering plans, coordinates electrical/piping trades, navigates AHJ submittals, and oversees commissioning through final turnover.
Installer Longevity & Extreme Capability
Our first installer hired in 1984 is still with us today. Our installation team brings over 100 years of experience, routinely working in extreme environments from blast freezers below -10°F to heavy industrial plants.
