Companies with many facilities spread over a large geography are looking for one vendor who can provide a full range of services anywhere with just one phone call. In 2000, ORR Protection filled that need by establishing its National Account Program.

- Embracing it is not enough. The key is intelligent application of information technology in ways that add value for our customers.
- One example is how ORR has centralized information, serving it out to regional offices and remote technicians on-demand. Systems now in use have enabled ORR to evolve a virtual National Account Service organization equipped with knowledge of every building under contract. This, combined with dedicated National Account Coordinators, supports ORR’s ability to respond quickly anywhere in North America.
- ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standards
- In any operation, the quality of the work completed is significantly impacted by the skill of the individual performing the work.

- Go where the customers are!
- ORR is continuously growing its field workforce in areas where we have customers. Growth has come in the form of acquisitions of other fire protection companies, and strategic placement of technicians who work remotely from ORR’s regional offices to put them closer to our customers.
Strong Business Model Brings Customer Confidence
In comparison with other companies that serve the niche market for mission critical fire alarm / detection / suppression NATIONWIDE, ORR Protection is one of the largest. While other fire protection companies focus primarily on system sales and suffer from downturns in the economy/building industry, ORR Protection continues to enjoy profit and growth. ORR’s successful strategy has been an enabler for expansion by acquiring other fire protection companies and opening new offices from the ground up.
