UK’s 2026 King’s Award for Enterprise winner shows solutions to protect data centers and battery energy storage systems on booth 370.
28 May 2026, Dartford, UK: Kentec Electronics, one of the world’s leading providers of fire
detection and alarm solutions is exhibiting at NFPA Conference and Expo for the first time on
booth 370.
Attendance at the most important event in the US fire industry’s calendar demonstrates the
growing importance of the market to UK-based Kentec. Only last month, Kentec won a coveted
King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in recognition of the growth of the firm’s
international sales.
Kentec will be showing delegates its Sigma ZXT control panel, which has an Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) listing at the latest UL 864 10th edition standard. This ensures compliance
with one of the world’s most widely recognized fire safety benchmarks – and makes it the
foundation of fully compliant early-warning fire detection and suppression systems in North
America.
Designed to protect critical assets as well as support uninterrupted business operations, the
Sigma ZXT panel is particularly suited to high-growth, high-risk applications such as data
centers and battery energy storage systems (BESS), where events that might lead to thermal
runaway and devastating fires must be identified quickly and reliably.
Also on booth 370 will be the K-Detect-iON calibration-free flammable gas detector, which
integrates seamlessly with the Sigma ZXT panel to provide rapid detection, robust performance
and peace of mind as part of a complete BESS fire protection solution.
The only UL 2075 calibration-free hydrogen sensor currently on the market, K-Detect-iON
delivers optimal protection by allowing real-time monitoring of often remote energy storage
facilities, alongside rapid response in the event of an incident. It needs no calibration for at least
10 years – reducing service costs, minimizing site disruption and ensuring consistent
performance throughout a lengthy lifespan.
“UL-compliance means we can bring a proven and trusted platform to our valued US
customers”, says Johnny Martin, Business Development Manager at Kentec Electronics Ltd.
NFPA delegates can be assured of a warm welcome on booth 370 to see how Kentec’s solutions
are ideal for critical applications like data centers where there is significant fire risk. Drop by and see us!”, Johnny continued.
