Hochiki Europe: A Century of Life Safety Innovation for the UK Built Environment

For more than a century Hochiki has been designing and manufacturing innovative fire detection and emergency lighting solutions. The company’s commercial and industrial fire detection and emergency lighting products have a reputation for long-term reliability thanks to Hochiki’s commitment to research, development, and stringent testing, including in what it says is the world's largest purpose-built fire test laboratory. This translates into systems that offer strong performance, minimise false alarms, and provide peace of mind for specifiers, installers, and end users alike. 

Hochiki has a group sales turnover exceeding £400 million, making it a wholly independent, multinational and publicly listed company. This independence fosters a long-term vision, unburdened by short-term pressures, allowing for continuous investment in technology.  

The business has more than 2,000 employees worldwide across six manufacturing plants, 38 sales offices, and 14 subsidiaries. This global reach, combined with dedicated local support from Hochiki Europe in the UK, ensures prompt service, readily available products, and expert technical assistance for even the most demanding projects. 

With production facilities in the UK, Japan, the USA, and Europe, Hochiki offers international continuity in quality, service, and supply, which means UK specifiers can rely on a consistent standard of excellence.
