Celebrating a Major Milestone

At Nobel Fire Systems, we are proud to congratulate GS Environnement on the exceptional achievement of protecting 400 KFC restaurants across France and Luxembourg. As our valued distributor of the K-Series Fire Suppression System, GS Environnement has played a vital role in delivering reliable, life-saving fire protection to one of Europe’s most recognisable restaurant brands. This milestone is a testament to the strength of our long-standing partnership and to a shared commitment to safety, performance and innovation.

“Reaching 400 protected KFC restaurants is an outstanding accomplishment and a powerful example of what can be achieved through true partnership,” explained Ian Bartle, Managing Director of Nobel Fire Systems. “GS Environnement has consistently demonstrated professionalism, technical excellence and dedication in the field. Together, we are helping to set the standard for fire safety in commercial kitchens across France and Luxembourg.”

For nearly two decades, every KFC restaurant opened in France and Luxembourg has been equipped with the K-Series Fire Suppression System, the result of an important distributor relationship between Nobel Fire Systems and GS Environnement. This long-term collaboration has ensured that fire safety is embedded into each new location from day one.

Today, with 400 restaurants protected, more than 800 million hours of fryer operation every year are safeguarded by the Nobel K-Series system. Each installation is supported by a 24/7 technical hotline, providing direct access to expert assistance and ensuring rapid response whenever it is needed.

For KFC, this comprehensive approach is fundamental:

“For KFC, protecting our customers, our teams and our restaurants is an absolute priority. This global solution helps to strengthen safety across our restaurant network in France and Luxembourg,” said Isabelle Herman, Managing Director of KFC France.

GS Environnement’s work extends beyond kitchen equipment. In addition to fryer protection, the company secures Main Low-Voltage Switchboards (TGBT) using the Stat-X system, also supplied to GS Environnement by Nobel as part of the distribution agreement, designed for the automatic suppression of fires in confined spaces. This dual-layer protection addresses the two primary fire risks identified in restaurant environments: cooking equipment and electrical infrastructure.

Yves Marx, President of GS Environnement, highlights the significance of this achievement:

“Equipping 400 KFC restaurants illustrates the strength and trust of a strategic partnership built over time. GS Environnement also draws on the experience gained from more than 3,000 installations across all our clients, and on nearly 20 years of close collaboration with Nobel Fire Systems, guaranteeing reliability and performance in the field.”

This milestone reflects more than numbers, it represents years of collaboration, technical expertise and shared values. Together, Nobel Fire Systems and GS Environnement continue to deliver proven, certified fire suppression solutions that protect people, property, and brands in high-risk environments.

We look forward to building on this success and supporting GS Environnement as they continue to raise the bar for fire safety across the hospitality and industrial sectors.
