KuhnOdice UK: A new era in fire safety

Mann McGowan and KuhnOdice complete merger to form KuhnOdice UK

Mann McGowan and KuhnOdice (formerly CH Materials) has announced the successful completion of their merger, officially uniting under the new company name KuhnOdice UK.

The move reportedly brings together decades of expertise, technical innovation, and market leadership to create a comprehensive, one-stop solution for the full spectrum of fire protection requirements.

The merger is said to represent a significant milestone for both organisations as they consolidate operations in Aldershot and align capabilities across product development, customer service, and technical support.

Strengthening Market Position Through Innovation

The new company says merging together enhances the company’s ability to serve industries with a broader portfolio of technically advanced passive fire protection products, integrated manufacturing capabilities, and expanded R&D capacity.

Innovation Leader and Recognised Expert

The name KuhnOdice is said to embody decades of cutting-edge expertise: KuhnOdice has emerged from the German Rolf Kuhn and Odice S.A.S, which is based in France – two pioneering manufacturers among the first to identify and successfully unlock the transformative potential of intumescent materials for fire safety applications.

Now, united under the KuhnOdice brand, the group says it provides a portfolio of future-ready solutions with KuhnOdice UK set to play a leading role in driving growth and innovation across the British market.

Jamie Scott, Director, KuhnOdice UK, said: “Bringing Mann McGowan and KuhnOdice together marks the start of an exciting new chapter.

“Each company has built a strong reputation in the fire protection market, and as KuhnOdice UK we are perfectly positioned to deliver even greater value through innovation, expertise, and most importantly, a seamless customer experience.”

Peter Nisbet, Business Development, KuhnOdice UK, added: “The integration of our teams gives us a unique platform to accelerate product development and strengthen our position as a trusted partner across the construction and fire safety sectors. We
remain committed to supporting our customers with the same consistency, quality and technical excellence they have always relied on.”
