Fireboy-Xintex, a leader in the innovation of safety products in the 
recreational and commercial marine, transportation, and industrial markets, 
specializes in fire suppression and fire & gas detection.  Founded in 1973, 
Fireboy has offices in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Poole, Dorset, in the United 
Kingdom.  Fireboy was previously owned by W.S. Darley & Co. 

"We are extremely excited to welcome Fireboy-Xintex into the United Safety 
family," stated Joseph Mirabile, President & CEO of United Safety. "This 
acquisition aligns perfectly with our long-term plan for growth as an 
organization and allows us to continue to strengthen our fire suppression 
division across industries and geographies. I see such strong synergies between 
our organizations: the passion of employees, the commitment to customer service 
and the drive to create the most innovative and reliable products on the 
market."

Paul C. Darley, CEO & President of Darley noted, "We were not looking to sell 
Fireboy-Xintex, but United Safety approached us, and it just felt right. United 
Safety has access to some markets that we did not, and this will allow 
Fireboy-Xintex to grow more rapidly. More importantly, we know that they will 
take care of our hard-working and dedicated employees. I want to thank everyone 
at Fireboy-Xintex for their years as part of the Darley family." 

Mirabile concluded, "As the needs and circumstances of our customers continue 
to evolve and change over time, we are excited to bring the best product 
offerings to market under the United Safety portfolio.  We know how important 
fire suppression and other safety products are and we are thrilled to welcome 
an organization to United Safety that has the same commitment to safety as we 
do."
