From www.fireye.com
A 60 Year Tradition
 Our roots go back to
the 1930s, when the company offered the first commercial/ industrial electronic
flame safeguard control, a photoelectric device designed to detect the presence
of an oil flame in less than a second. As high technology slowly won acceptance in boiler rooms and plants across the country, the company continued to expand product capabilities. During World War II and after, the company developed a wide variety of sensor technologies that ultimately found their way into innovative flame safeguard devices. By the early 1950s, Fireye products had become an integral part of modern controlled combustion systems. Our pioneering tradition has been renewed many times over the decades. We were the first to develop infrared scanners to monitor both gas and oil flames, the first to develop a scanner that discriminated between signals from adjacent burners, the first to create a completely solid-state programming control. We have recently set new standards with a micro-processor-based, auto diagnostics program that communicates in five different languages. Continuing our history of innovation, Fireye has introduced the next generation of industrial multiburner flame scanners. Based on a built-in microprocessor, our revolutionary Signature Scanner™ series collects data about flames in three dimensions.
Innovation
Over the decades, Fireye has remained a vigorous and independent industry leader. As our history of "firsts" attests, Fireye is dedicated to a constant process of innovation, a long-term effort to provide more reliable and more capable products. In our labs and research facilities, the Fireye engineering staff constantly evaluates and tests new ideas. We look for ways to improve current products, as well as for new entries into related aspects of combustion control and management. In an industry primarily concerned with control and safety, quality manufacturing at Fireye is far more than a buzzword. As makers of products that monitor the performance of other equipment, our reputation stands on a continuing record of reliability. As new products take shape, beginning with an idea and ending with commercialization, we develop and adhere to detailed quality control plans. In October of 1996, Fireye received ISO 9001 certification and has undertaken re-certification audits with outstanding results. At Fireye, we take quality personally and professionally. Our brand of customer service is based on constant communication. We know our company depends on satisfied customers, and we listen carefully to what the market tells us. For example, when we developed our new MicroM™ Series burner controls, we recognized that our customers wanted communications, diagnostics and remote display options. Our highly competent district sales managers devote a considerable portion of their time to counseling and instructing in the field, an emphasis on training that continues with regularly scheduled seminars at our headquarters and in field offices worldwide. At Fireye, we know that success is a function of innovation, quality, and service. We keep all of them in mind, and in view, as we look for new opportunities in the years to come.

The ability of our staff to identify customer problems and to provide cost-effective solutions is what makes us successful.
