Phoenix — Fire, security and life safety services provider Telgian Corporation marks the 30th anniversary of the company’s founding in November.
Telgian’s roots as a consulting and engineering firm began in 1985 when it was known as Tomes and Associates. Founded by a former Fire Marshal of San Diego, Bill Tomes shared his knowledge and experience from years leading the San Diego Fire Prevention Bureau and his passion for the fire protection industry. Throughout the years, several industry-leading experts joined the firm, aiding the rapid growth and expansion of the company and its service offerings. Several partnerships were formed, and the company was renamed TVA Fire and Life Safety in later years. In 2001, Fire Materials Group was formed to focus on construction and maintenance services.
At the time, Fire Materials Group had vast expertise in the fire protection construction and maintenance area while TVA Fire and Life Safety specialized in fire protection engineering and design. As they evolved, it became apparent the two companies would benefit from centralized governance, corporate services, information technology and leadership. TVA Fire and Life Safety and Fire Materials Group merged in 2007 to form the Telgian brand.
“Over the past 30 years, I’ve watched this team branch out and grow to become a leading force in an evolving industry while maintaining a core focus on partnering with our customers to save lives and property,” says Jim Tomes, son of company founder Bill Tomes and current Telgian CEO.
Telgian is a worldwide provider of comprehensive fire, security, life safety consulting and engineering/design services. For more information, visit www.telgian.com.
