Following extensive research, the CASWELL FIRESAFE® product was first tested in 2003 by Caswell Engineering Services Limited and FIRESAFE FIRE RATED DUCTWORK® Limited itself was formed in 2006. The company was set up to focus on the Passive Fire Protection industry and to develop CASWELL FIRESAFE® into a global brand.
