What F S P Inc does

Marmic Fire & Safety Co., Inc. (referenced as F S P Inc in some records) is an employee-owned fire and life safety services company founded in 1951 and headquartered in Joplin, Missouri. The company delivers end-to-end fire protection services across six core service categories: inspection, service & repair, maintenance, testing, training, design, and installation. Its product portfolio spans fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, fire sprinkler systems (wet, dry, and pre-action), special hazard fire suppression systems (clean agent including FM-200 and Novec 1230, CO2, dry chemical), kitchen exhaust vent hood cleaning, integrated safety system design, and 24/7 in-house emergency response. VESDA aspirating smoke detection and NICET-certified technician protocols form the technical backbone for special hazard environments such as data centers, industrial facilities, and healthcare settings.

The company operates a direct field service go-to-market model, employing 1,300+ NICET-certified technicians who deliver services on-site across 50+ U.S. locations without subcontractor intermediation. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring inspection, maintenance, and compliance service contracts, supplemented by project-based installation work for new construction and system retrofits. A structured National Accounts Program serves multi-site enterprise customers with consolidated billing, centralized scheduling, unified compliance reporting, and a single point of contact across their portfolios. Customers span grocery and retail, industrial manufacturing and logistics, education and government, hospitality entertainment and sports, restaurants, healthcare, multi-family and commercial, power and energy, special risk environments, and multi-site national accounts.

In late 2024, the company transitioned to full employee ownership with support from KKR, with Robert Desel appointed CEO. Over 30 acquisitions have been integrated over the past several years to expand geographic reach and capabilities, growing the team to 1,300+ professionals serving 50,000+ facilities nationwide. The company holds multiple state-level contractor and alarm licenses (Oklahoma, Florida) and operates a customer service portal (ServiceTrade) for service tracking and documentation access.
