History

The Gamewell Company was formed in 1879. In 1962, Gamewell released the century. Which would be their most popular non-coded fire pull station. They used the design until the mid-2010’s

In 1982, Gamewell partnered with Cerberus in the marketing of the R-7. In 1984, Gamewell joined the Cerberus group.

In 1986 Gamewell would release their first addressable FACP, the FLEX-500A

In 1989, Gamewell introduced the INS-2. Later that year, Cerberus Technologies merged Gamewell with Pyrotronics to form Cerberus Pyrotronics.

In 1990, Gamewell was split from Cerberus AG and Cerberus Pyrotronics, becoming an independent company.

In 1994, Gamewell introduced the 600 series with a new SmartStart™ autoprogramming feature.

In 2003, Honeywell International acquired Gamewell, and in 2005, Honeywell merged Gamewell with Fire Control Instruments to form Gamewell-FCI.
