Pioneer wireless fire safety solutions provider Ramtech has established its first international base, opening a new U.S. office in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The move reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering modern fire and safety across the construction industry and establishing a full U.S. supply chain. By establishing a permanent presence on the Atlantic coast, Ramtech, which is headquartered in Nottingham, will enhance efficiency, mobilization and reliable delivery of safety solutions for contractors nationwide through the provision of direct access to equipment, training and support.
National service coverage
James Pecz, head of North America, Middle East and Global CX at Ramtech, said: “We are proud to establish a permanent presence in the U.S., marking an important milestone in Ramtech’s global growth.”
“This launch demonstrates our commitment not only to partners and clients across the U.S., but also reinforces the strength of our business model, proven in the UK, and its ability to scale internationally. Our Charlotte office brings us closer to delivering safety solutions efficiently and reliably, supported by a full U.S. supply chain and national service coverage.”
Supporting major construction firms
Ramtech has been operating in the U.S. for seven years, supporting major construction firms including Turner, PCL and Barton Malow, as well as the maritime defense sector.
Its WES system, successfully deployed on high-profile UK projects such as the Everton FC Hill Dickinson Stadium and Thames Tideway, has also protected more than 350 workers on major international projects, including Hudson Detroit ($1B) and Gaylord Pacific Resort. The company partners with over a dozen U.S. distributors, including Space Age Electronics.
State-specific partners
While the majority of Ramtech’s U.S. experience and recognition has been in the North and South East regions, it is keen to expand this reach across the South and Midwest. Charlotte will be an anchor for the firm, while it looks to cover new ground with its regional and state-specific partners.
James added: “As we continue to grow our presence in the U.S., this step ensures that Ramtech is not just responding to the currency of industry needs, but actively shaping the future of wireless evacuation solutions, helping protect workers and facilities at every stage of a project.”
The opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Bruna Pacios Esposito, Ramtech’s business unit director, alongside Orama managing director Giorgio Koursaris. The day involved product innovations presented by product marketing manager Jiayao Wang.
