"A fire broke out during an unmanned shift, but the system detected and extinguished it within seconds, far before any damage could be done. An absolute must-have for any machine shop." **Steve H.** Production Manager "We installed Kraft & Bauer fire protection across our production floor, and it has given us complete peace of mind. The best investment we’ve made in workplace safety." **David W.** Maintenance Manager "Without Kraft & Bauer's system, our recent fire would have destroyed our machine. Instead, our bottle trained engineers swapped the used cylinder with our spare and the machine was running again within 10 minutes." **Jonathan R.** Engineering Manager [![K&B logo](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/K%26B%20logo.gif?width=506&height=107&name=K%26B%20logo.gif "K&B logo")](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/?hsLang=en) Kraft & Bauer UK Unit 80 Hotchkiss Way Binley Industrial Estate Coventry  CV3 2RL T: +44 (0) 2476 22 94 77 E: [sales@kraftandbauer.co.uk](mailto:sales@kraftandbauer.co.uk) [tel:](tel:)   ![QR Code](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(19).png?width=2000&height=2000&name=Untitled%20design%20(19).png "QR Code") - [Home](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk) - [Systems](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/systems) - [Servicing](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/annual-servicing) - [Technical](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/technical.htm) - [Downloads](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/download-request) - [About](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/profile.htm) - [Contact and FAQs](https://kraftandbauer.co.uk/contact/index.php) L.B.
