United Safety President and CEO Joe Mirabile stated, "We are extremely excited 
to welcome QTEC Fire Services into the United Safety family. QTEC will 
significantly increase our available offerings and allow us to provide multiple 
high-quality fire suppression products to our global customers. This is a 
continuation of our mission to deliver many more lifesaving products to those 
who need them." 

QTEC Fire Services Pty Ltd was founded in 1992 with a focus on manufacturing 
Australia's highest quality fire suppression systems. The company continues to 
shape the fire suppression industry as the only Australian based company to 
continually develop and manufacture products in Australia for both domestic and 
international applications. Mike Hompesch, partner at Dubin Clark, United 
Safety's ownership firm stated, "United Safety continues to be a dramatic 
growth story that delivers groundbreaking products that save lives around the 
world. We are proud to have recognized a great opportunity with this team and 
we look forward to continuing to partner with and support management to expand 
the company further." 

"It is with great excitement we announce that United Safety & Survivability 
Corporation has completed the acquisition of QTEC Fire Services and I am 
excited about the future," QTEC founder, Mark Ivanovic said. Ivanovic has been 
highly successful in manufacturing fire suppression products for over 28 years, 
founded on the principal of high-quality Australian manufacturing. 

The news comes after last year's acquisition of Firestorm Fire Protection, 
another Australian based fire protection company, further widening the reach of 
United Safety's focus on fire safety and strengthening the company's portfolio 
of product offerings. Firestorm CEO Kristian Bischoff commented, "The ability 
to own and operate a first-class Australian manufactured fire suppression group 
such as QTEC Fire Services is fantastic and complements the Fogmaker misting 
system and the service and installation of Firestorm. Our future looks 
extremely promising and 2020 is shaping up to be a record year."
