Founded in 1996, Firetek, Inc. has established a solid reputation in the firestopping industry, with roots dating back to 1990 when its founders first engaged in selling firestop products. The company’s journey began with a significant project at a Hampton Inn near KCI, which set the course for its incorporation in February of 1997. As a charter member of the Firestop Contractors International Association (FCIA), Firetek actively contributes to the industry, including serving on its technical committee and co-authoring the 'Firestop Manual of Practice' in collaboration with Factory Mutual.
Firetek emphasizes ongoing training and development as a cornerstone of its operations, ensuring that its personnel are well-versed in the latest installation techniques, product offerings, and system solutions. The company invests in its workforce, providing factory and field training from leading organizations such as Nelson Firestop, Specified Technologies Inc. (STI), Hilti, and Johns Manville. This commitment to excellence extends across various installation services for plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, electrical, communication, and sprinkler system penetrations.
