The State of Sprinkler Manufacturing & Systems with Jim McHugh
In today’s episode of The Fire Protection Podcast, Drew sits down with Jim McHugh, president of AGF Manufacturing, to talk through the latest trends in sprinkler manufacturing, innovations in sprinkler systems and hardware, and the impact of these changes on ITM processes.
They also discuss the high volume of acquisitions taking place in fire protection and what that means for the future. “I think we're a decade behind what was already done in the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC industry…But I think it offers amazing opportunities for generational change, and there's a lot of that going on right now,” McHugh explains.
McHugh shares about other key trends in the industry, including retrofitting, code compliance and enforcement, shifts in manufacturing standards and processes, remote inspections, and the future growth of the fire protection industry.
