LVC Companies reached another pair of significant milestones in 2026 as sales of NOTIFIER fire alarm and life safety components and ANSUL fire suppression products each achieved record levels.
NOTIFIER Sales Surpass $3 Million
For the first time in company history, sales of NOTIFIER by Honeywell fire alarm and life safety system components exceeded $3 million.
The achievement continues a strong growth trend for LVC. The company recorded $1.6 million in NOTIFIER parts sales in 2023, surpassed $2 million in both 2024 and 2025, and has now broken through the $3 million mark in 2026.
In a message to employees, Director of Operations Jeremy Hanzel credited the accomplishment to the dedication and teamwork of employees throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
“This did not happen by accident,” Hanzel said. “It reflects the collective efforts of every employee who contributes to serving our customers every day, including sales and marketing, service, project management, warehouse operations, administration, and field personnel.”
The accomplishment reflects LVC’s commitment to exceptional customer service, trusted manufacturer partnerships, and a culture of collaboration. Continued growth in NOTIFIER sales demonstrates the confidence customers place in LVC and its employees to deliver dependable fire and life safety solutions.
LVC President and CEO Bert Bongard also recognized the achievement and the teamwork behind it. “Another milestone achievement for LVC! Congratulations to all and great job everyone!” Bongard said. “As LVC continues to grow, the record serves as a reminder of what can be achieved when employees across departments and locations work together to support customers and one another.”
ANSUL Sales Set New Record
LVC also reported record ANSUL sales in fiscal year 2026, totaling $1.817 million, compared to $978,000 in 2025.
Growth was recorded across every segment of the business. Sales of restaurant fire suppression components increased 28 percent, portable fire extinguishers increased 59 percent, and vehicle fire suppression products climbed 44 percent over the previous year.
The record reflects strong demand across multiple markets, including mining, heavy equipment, manufacturing, restaurants, and industrial facilities. Throughout 2026, LVC expanded its work with customers such as Mesabi Metallics, completed specialized fire suppression installations for mining and heavy equipment applications, and added new relationships with organizations such as Vermeer and Boelter. The division also continued to strengthen its capabilities by adding new manufacturer partnerships and investing in technical training and certifications for employees.
According to Portables & Pre-Engineered Fire Suppression Manager Corey Kangas, the growth is the result of both an expanding customer base and the dedication of the team serving those customers. “Our growth strategy continues to focus on developing new partnerships while expanding existing relationships,” Kangas said.
Kangas said the division continues to see opportunities across vehicle fire suppression, portable fire extinguishers, kitchen fire suppression systems, paint booth applications, and industrial fire protection, creating a strong backlog of work heading into 2027.
“As new opportunities emerge, we remain committed to supporting existing customers while driving growth across every segment of the Portables & Pre-Engineered Division,” Kangas added.
The record-setting results reflect the strength of LVC’s customer relationships, the continued demand for industry-leading ANSUL products, and the commitment of employees across the organization. As businesses continue to prioritize fire protection and life safety, LVC remains focused on delivering the products, service, inspections, and technical expertise customers rely on to protect people, property, and operations.
Together, the record-setting performances from both the NOTIFIER and ANSUL product lines demonstrate LVC’s continued growth, strong manufacturer partnerships, and the trust customers place in our team to deliver industry-leading fire and life safety solutions throughout the Upper Midwest and beyond.
