Security Chimneys™ Celebrates 50 Years, Welcomes the Next Chapter in Its History
LAVAL, Québec, Canada — For 50 years, Security Chimneys International Limited™ has researched and developed the hottest new ideas in wood-burning fireplaces and residential and industrial chimneys. With products made by one of the most trusted names in the industry, the company is looking toward a bright future, and is positioned to become the premier supplier of quality chimneys and cutting-edge fireplaces in the North American hearth and HVAC markets.
“With a half-century of success under its belt, Security Chimneys is committed to total quality and continuous improvement in everything it does: from developing the most advanced chimney, venting and clean-burning wood fireplaces in the residential, commercial, and industrial markets, to building quality relationships with its customers,” said Wendy Howells, vice president and general manager of Lennox Hearth Products, Security Chimneys’ parent company.
“As the global climate has changed, Security Chimneys has also evolved. The current product lineup demonstrates the company’s relentless focus on the environment and maintaining the company’s leadership position in the industry,” said Richard Ayoup, director of operations. “With a complete line of high-efficiency fireplaces, including our BIS™ family of EPA-certified fireplaces, we have set the standard which other manufacturers often imitate, but never equal.”
“The tradition of innovation has been continued with a complete family of venting products for wood, oil and gas-fired appliances. The Secure Vent™ direct vent chimney, ASHT high-temperature stainless steel and the recently introduced CIX™ commercial chimneys are just three examples of how Security Chimneys products have become industry benchmarks,” added Howells.
Security Chimneys’ R&D labs, located in the company’s manufacturing facility in Laval, Québec, are fully equipped and accredited to certify that all products are in accordance with UL, ULC and CSA standards, and provide the company’s foundation for quality testing.
“Ultimately, our leadership team believes that quality relationships develop quality products. The company grows those valuable partnerships by providing superior sales support, customer service and products. But most of all, Security Chimneys fosters an environment where teamwork is the key to its success,” concluded Ayoup.
