Kidde,(pronounced \Kid-duh\) is a brand and division of United Technologies Corporation. It is a group of
businesses that manufactures and distributes fire detection and suppression equipment, as well as CO
Alarm units.
History[edit]
Kidde fire extinguisher
The company was founded by Walter Kidde in 1917 in the United States.[1] The founder was of Czech origin
and unrelated to the Danish author Harald Kidde.
The company grew rapidly during the 1920s and established a British operation at Northolt in 1935 as its first
overseas operation.[1]
It was acquired by Williams Holdings in 1988 and in 1989 it merged with Graviner (another Williams Holdings
business) to form Kidde Graviner.[1] In 1993 it acquired Dunford Hepburn.[1] It was demerged from Williams
Holdings in 2000.[1]
In 2005, Kidde was acquired by United Technologies Corporation and was combined with Chubb Security, also
a former Williams Holdings business, and several other brands to create UTC Fire & Security. [2]

History[edit]
The Company was founded by Charles and Jeremiah Chubb, who patented their Chubb detector lock in 1818.
The Company won a government competition for a lock which could not be opened other than by its own
key.[1] In 1835, the company produced its first Chubb safe at its factory in Wolverhampton and, in the second
half of the 19th century, the company expanded into the US and produced a time lock that was fitted to bank
vaults across the country.[2] In the 1800s, Chubb gained some important customers such as the Duke of
Wellington and the Bank of England.[3] Over the next 100 years the company turned out more than 2.5m
locks.[2]
After World War II, Chubb expanded its operations in 17 countries. From being a single company
manufacturing specialized security products it turned into a broad based group of companies covering not only
many aspects of security but fire protection as well. The company went on to acquire a number of rival firms
including Chatwood-Milner Ltd. (1958), Burgot Alarms Ltd and Rely-a-Bell (1962), Read and Campbell
Limited (1964), Josiah Parkes and Sons Ltd. (1965) and The Pyrene Company Limited (1967).[4]
It was bought by Racal Electronics in 1984 from which it was demerged in 1992 before being acquired
by Williams Holdings in 1997[5] as the latter company sought to build a security-focused conglomerate. Chubb
was again demerged in 2000.[2]
In 2000 Chubb sold Chubb Locks, its lock and safe-making unit, to Assa Abloy of Sweden and concentrated on
security systems such as door access and CCTV systems.[6] In 2002 Chubb held intensive acquisitions talks with
Sweden-based Securitas, the world's biggest security services business. After 18 months of negotiations, [7] the
talks were called off on the grounds that the deal would not be "financially attractive" to either company's
shareholders.[8] In 2003 Chubb was acquired for £622m by United Technologies Corporation.[9] In 2007 UTC
bought Initial Fire and Security, the security arm of Rentokil Initial and proceeded to merge the business and its
assets with Chubb in UTC Fire & Security. In 2013, Chubb's Australian cash in transit business was sold
to Prosegur.[10]
