Kidde Smoke Detector

Kidde is a legendary brand in the fire safety industry, renowned for being a market leader in residential and commercial detection systems. Originally founded in the United States over a century ago, the brand has evolved from a focus on fire extinguishers to becoming a household name for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. In the French market, Kidde is recognized as a top-selling brand, known for its reliability and adherence to strict safety standards like the NF mark.

While the brand has American roots, the manufacturing of its high-volume consumer safety products, such as the smoke detector pictured, is primarily localized in China to meet global demand efficiently. Over the years, Kidde has shifted through several corporate owners, moving from its original founder Walter Kidde to become part of larger industrial conglomerates. Today, Kidde is a key subsidiary of Carrier Global Corporation, a leading provider of healthy, safe, sustainable, and intelligent building and cold chain solutions.
