Beirut · Since 1967
It started with Chafik Kouwatli, a firefighter in Beirut. His family still carries the name. They supply, install and service the equipment that protects Lebanon, from a corner shop to a UN convoy.
S.O.S KIMIAL, kept in the same family, in the same city, since 1967.
Chafik Kouwatli joins the fire service. For thirty-six years he answers the calls everyone else runs from: Tripoli, Sidon, and then Beirut.
You could see it coming through the traffic: a white pickup marked S.O.S, stacked with extinguishers. The family had turned a lifetime of fighting fire into protecting the whole city, one workshop and one call at a time.
From a small office in Beirut, the family builds S.O.S KIMIAL: extinguishers, refills, and advice you can trust.
S.O.S equipment protects homes, restaurants, factories and hospitals across Lebanon, and rides on the fire trucks of the Civil Defense and the United Nations. A member of the Lebanese safety syndicate, working to UL, LPCB and EN equipment standards.
Today
From a single extinguisher behind a shop counter to a full suppression system on a UN vehicle, we supply, install, refill and inspect. If it puts out a fire, we stand behind it, and we come back to service it.
Peacekeepers, factories, hospitals, kitchens: the places that cannot afford for the equipment to fail.
Peacekeeping units in South Lebanon run fire trucks built out and equipped by S.O.S KIMIAL.
We bring UL, LPCB and EN certified equipment to Lebanon, direct from manufacturers in the USA and the UK, and from the makers we meet at Intersec in Dubai.
Pump rooms, hydrant networks and suppression, installed and maintained.
CO₂ and gas systems for server rooms, switchgear and archives.
NFPA-96 wet-chemical hood systems for restaurants and canteens.
Most of the buildings that call us want only this: a panel, detection through the floors, call points on the escape routes and sounders that carry through a closed door. Designed to NFPA 72, and handed over commissioned.
Some rooms cannot be flooded with water. Server halls, switchgear, archives and generator bays take a full gas suppression system, with the agent quantity calculated from the volume of the room itself.
53 data sheets, 7 families of equipment. Certified, stocked, and serviced from Beirut.
Training with the Lebanese Civil Defense, installations, and equipment in the hands of the people who use it. Tap any clip to open it fullscreen.
