New Technical Director for Apollo Fire Detectors

New Technical Director for Apollo Fire Detectors

Apollo Fire Detectors Limited, the world-leading manufacturer of fire detectors for industrial and commercial applications, has appointed Stephan Sommer as its new Technical Director. Stephan joins the company from Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte (BSH), where he was R&D Director for processing technologies. 

Stephan intends to bring his previous experience of international markets - notably in Germany, the US and China - as well as extensive technical expertise to the role of Technical Director. His stated aim is to make Apollo more efficient and responsive than ever.

Commenting on his new role, Stephan said:

"Although Apollo is a global market leader in fire detection, it needs to continue to respond swiftly to market influences. I want to build on the company's current success by developing much more interaction between the Technical team and other parts of Apollo's business, including Marketing and Quality. Greater integration and more opportunities to develop and exchange ideas will help to drive product innovation in the future and keep Apollo ahead of the competition." 

Stephan has relocated from Germany to the UK with his wife and daughter and now lives on the Isle of Wight.
