| Ask our customers. In 1894, Simplex was a time recorder company with a
handful of employees.
Today we're international leaders in fire
protection, security, communications and time management solutions.
And our employees number more than 5,000.
In one way or another, they're all responsible for customer satisfaction.
That includes our President. Our design
engineers. Our sales reps. Our technicians. Our support personnel.
And, of course, the people who staff our
140 branch offices in North America and subsidiaries in Europe, Australia, Asia and Latin
America.
What do our customers think about that?
(A question we're always asking them.)

Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Population
150,000. A place known more for the Crimson Tide than luxury cars. Change is en route,
however. Tuscaloosa County recently became the address of Daimler-Benz's first
passenger vehicle manufacturing facility in the U.S. Up sprang more than 1,000 jobs, a
windfall for the local economy. And an auspicious debut for the new M-Class All-Activity
Vehicle. Annually, 65,000 of them will roll off the assembly line. How does Mercedes
protect a facility with 1,000,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space and 48,000
square feet of training area? With the Simplex 4120 Fire Detection Network. (It's
integrated with an NT 3400 Security Management Information System by Simples, and
supplemented with a CCTV system.) Everyone who lives or works in Tuscaloosa County knows
that Alabamians make the best German cars in the world. And as long as we have anything to
do with it, they always will. |
