Tyco, with more than three million customers and 69,000 employees in 50 countries, is a $10+ billion global leader in fire protection and security solutions. The company’s broad portfolio of products and services, bolstered by the Security Products robust offering, allows the company to partner with customers to help them meet diverse needs. The new company is focused on accelerating growth and increasing shareholder value by designing, delivering and maintaining fire protection and security solutions.
