Both Walter Kidde and Fenwal, having begun their business operations during the 1930s, were already considered among the top companies in their respective industries.In 1989, Williams Holdings Ltd., a major British industrial corporation, acquired Fenwal, Inc. and the other Kidde fire protection companies. Following the acquisition, Kiddes Wake Forest, NC operations were merged with Fenwals Ashland facility, and in 1991, the new company was renamed KiddeFenwal, Inc. In 2005, United Technologies Corporation acquired Kidde plc and created the entity UTC Fire & Security, which merged the Kidde plc fire protection with United Technologies established security business, Chubb.
