Slovenia is proving to be a boom area for the fire protection market, at least for Apollo Fire Detectors. The company has won a number of large-scale projects in the country, and over 11,000 Apollo conventional and intelligent fire detectors have been installed at sites across the Republic in the last three years.
These include: Ljubljana Airport; Slovenia’s largest trade centre; pharmaceutical sites across the country; and at the holiday village of Zagori Novi Vinodolski on the Croatian coast.
Apollo puts much of its success in Slovenia down to official distributor Zarja Elektronika. As a developer and manufacturer of Apollo-compatible fire control panels and other fire alarm products, Zarja Elektronika has developed the CIE NJP-2000A, a modular unit developed for larger applications. Designed to offer distributed intelligence, the CIE panel can incorporate Apollo intelligent or conventional fire detectors, as required.
Since its launch less than 36 months ago, fire detection systems based on the CIE/Apollo combination have been specified and installed at over 20 new and refurbished sites across Slovenia.
The fast expanding Ljubljana international airport currently has a fire detection system that includes 220 Apollo conventional fire detectors and 200 XP95 analogue addressable fire detectors, but the system is being expanded as the airport grows.
