Le Village des Valeurs is a very popular second-hand retailer, which offers clothing for the whole family, accessories as well as quality second-hand household items. The business model of this chain of stores aims to promote resale, recycling and sharing while offering the community a smart way to shop. The Value Village diverts more than 300,000 tons of second-hand items from landfills each year. Such simple actions, such as those purchased at thrift stores, can have an immense impact on the health of our planet.
When the Ellice Avenue branch in Winnipeg noticed that their fire alarm panel was defective, management had to replace it since their existing panel was discontinued. Our loyal partner SI Alarms was responsible for replacing the panel. Once again, this team placed their trust in Maple Armor products because they met the customer's needs.
The notification devices that were already in place were still in good condition, which is why SI Alarms was able to reuse them with the new Maple Armor system. This therefore allowed the client to minimize costs. The new system now includes the Maple Armor FW106 control panel, the FW721 manual station and the FW811 input module.
Despite the original manufacturer's (OEM) parts not being replaced, the installation was successfully completed in one day, by a single technician. The Ellice Avenue Value Village has given us very positive feedback regarding their new sign. They love, among other things, the aesthetics and simplicity of the latter. Maple Armor can therefore add one more client to the successfully completed projects!
