Simplex Alarm System
About Simplex, the American company
In 1894, a young engineer working for Gardner, a Massachusetts furniture manufacturer, turned his energy toward finding a better way to record the time and attendance of his company’s employees. For example, Watkins’ hard work and creativity led to the invention of the Simplex time clock, the first accurate and easy-to-use recording system – and the creation of the Simplex Time Recorder Company. Operating under the private ownership of the Watkins family for over a century, Simplex Time Recorder expanded into fire alarm and building systems in the 1950s. In December of 2000, Simplex became part of Tyco International, a global leader in fire protection and security solutions. Today, Simplex is one of the most trusted brands in the fire protection industry and customers around the world rely on Simplex systems to help keep their employees and property safe every day.
