Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, January 18, 2024 – Tower Tech USA, a leading cooling tower manufacturer, today announced a momentous achievement as the only fully factory-assembled maker of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) cooling towers to receive an FM Approvals’ certification.
This recognition demonstrates the company’s commitment to designing and manufacturing world-class cooling tower solutions that meet the highest standards of fire and storm safety. An FM-approved certification assures customers that the product they are investing in has undergone rigorous testing, meeting global standards for loss prevention against fire, wind, earthquakes and wind-borne debris from storms (hurricanes, tornadoes, derechos, etc.).
“HVAC systems and cooling towers are a significant investment,” said Mathu Solo, President of Tower Tech. “An FM Approvals’ certification ensures that customers have a high-quality product able to withstand some of the biggest risks their towers may face, such as fires and storms. The auxiliary benefit of buying a cooling tower that meets the highest of safety standards also means that you are reducing your maintenance costs and enhancing the reliability of your HVAC systems.
