CBM Services

What CBM Services does

CBM Services Sàrl is a privately held Swiss fire safety services provider headquartered in Romanel-sur-Morges (canton of Vaud) and operating across Western Switzerland since 2014. The company supplies fire protection equipment and complementary services, including portable and wheeled fire extinguishers (foam, water, powder, CO2, and specialized variants for kitchen, lithium battery, and polar liquid fires), automatic fire suppression systems, fire posts/hydrants, hose reels, smoke extraction vents, and safety accessories. Its offering extends beyond hardware to maintenance contracts, AEAI/VKF-compliant CPI (Concept de Protection Incendie) concept development for new builds and renovations, fleet management, equipment rental, and multilingual training delivered in French, German, and English.

The business model blends one-time equipment sales, recurring subscription maintenance contracts billed annually, usage-based rentals (1–365 day tiers), and professional services. Pricing is quote-based, indexed to the Swiss consumer price index, and positioned around cost savings versus OEMs—up to 50% on extinguisher spare parts and up to 35% on fire hose reel maintenance—while preserving original warranties across all brands serviced. Go-to-market is direct sales through office/warehouse locations by appointment, with no e-commerce or third-party distribution.

CBM Services serves a horizontal customer mix spanning residential, commercial, industrial, kitchen, transport, electrical, and fire-service segments. Named enterprise references include Aldi, Migros, BBL, BBraun, Romande Energie, SIG, Police VD, Tetra Laval, and Marti Tunnel. The company's largest documented engagement is the June 2025 delivery of 120+ extinguishers and 50 fire posts for the PULSE modular innovation center in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne. The firm is privately owned with no disclosed external investment, operates on a Sàrl corporate structure, and employs between 1 and 10 people.

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Controls International: Johnson Controls (including Tyco Fire Protection Products) is a global building solutions provider with a sizable fire detection and suppression business. It competes with CBM Services on integrated fire safety for enterprise and industrial customers but serves a much broader portfolio of HVAC and building management services.
• Bosch Building Technologies: Bosch Building Technologies offers fire alarm systems, evacuation, and integrated security solutions globally, including Swiss operations. It overlaps with CBM Services on detection and notification but specializes in electronic fire alarm systems rather than portable extinguishers and hose reels.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens Smart Infrastructure (including its Cerberus fire detection brand) offers integrated building fire safety as part of a much broader building technologies portfolio. It overlaps with CBM Services on smoke extraction and detection accessories but competes primarily at the building-systems level rather than as a portable extinguisher specialist.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell Building Technologies (including the Notifier and Xtralis fire brands) provides fire detection, notification, and integrated building management. It competes with CBM Services on the systems and detection side of fire safety but operates at global scale with much broader product lines.

Direct peers

• Minimax: Minimax is a German-based global leader in fire protection with established Swiss operations. It sells portable extinguishers, suppression systems, and provides inspection and maintenance services—directly comparable to CBM Services' full-stack offering but at national scale with deeper service coverage.
• Securiton AG: Securiton AG is a Swiss provider of fire detection, alarm, and integrated security systems with nationwide coverage. It competes with CBM Services on fire safety concept development and equipment service for Swiss enterprises, but offers broader geographic reach and a deeper electronic fire-detection portfolio.
• Wagner Brandschutz: Wagner Brandschutz is a Swiss fire protection equipment and service company serving commercial and industrial customers—directly comparable to CBM Services' Western Switzerland focus, product range, and recurring maintenance model.
• Chubb Fire & Security: Chubb Fire & Security (part of API Group) is a global fire safety equipment and service provider with Swiss operations. It offers portable extinguishers, suppression systems, and recurring inspection contracts—directly mirroring CBM Services' product-service mix at significantly greater scale.
• Feuerschutz Jost: Feuerschutz Jost is a Swiss fire protection services company offering portable extinguisher supply, inspection, and maintenance—closely comparable to CBM Services' core service line at a similar regional scale across Western Switzerland.

Others

• Securitas AG: Securitas AG is a Swiss security services provider with adjacent fire and life safety offerings. It is comparable to CBM Services because enterprise and government customers in Switzerland often bundle physical security with fire safety procurement, though Securitas' core focus is guarding rather than fire equipment.
