Millars Pumps named exclusive UK distributor of Idroelettrica fire pumps

Fire protection contractors, installers and engineers right across the country will now have access to high-quality Italian fire pump solutions, along with dedicated customer service courtesy of a knowledgeable UK-based team.

Idroelettrica is renowned for its ongoing commitment to quality and precision in the manufacture of fire pump sets and pump house equipment. The business offers cost-effective bespoke solutions and options that meet a wide range of international, European and British industry standards. The recent expansion of its manufacturing and in-house testing facilities in Modena ensures swift delivery times along with robust quality control.

Growing demand  

The launch of Millars Pumps responds to a growing demand for reliable fire pump solutions in both new-build and retrofit projects across the UK, driven by stricter fire safety standards and planning requirements.

As the management teams at more commercial sites and high-rise residential buildings determine to upgrade or install sprinkler, water mist and hydrant systems, Millars Pumps will support contractors and specifiers with compliant, reliable and space-efficient equipment.

Along with its wide range of end suction, split case, vertical turbine and submersible pumps and associated equipment, Millars Pumps will introduce Firebox. Idroelettrica’s flagship solution, Firebox is a ‘plug-and-play’ pre-fabricated pump room, which arrives complete and ready to install.

An efficient and cost-effective alternative to constructing a traditional pump house, Firebox is fully customisable to clients’ specifications and space requirements. The innovative design means that all sides can fully open, providing 360° access for easy maintenance, inspection or future upgrades.

Combined expertise

Giovanni Vaccari, sales export manager at Idroelettrica Spa, informed Fire Safety Matters: “The launch of Millars Pumps in the UK is exciting news for any company looking to install or upgrade fire pumps for sprinkler or water mist fire protection systems. Products in our wide range of fire pump solutions, which encompasses Firebox, are designed to be long-lasting, convenient to install and easy to maintain.”

Vaccari concluded: “The combined expertise of Millars Pumps and Idroelettrica will ensure UK customers are fully supported at every stage of the process, from specification all the way through to delivery, installation and maintenance.”
