Our Story

Since the dawn of man, fire has been both a welcome friend and an unforgiving enemy. Worldwide, residential and commercial fires strike millions of times each year. Hundreds of thousands die and many times that number are seriously injured. Those statistics were the motivation that inspired Dan French, founder and CEO, to form Contego International, a company committed to the development and distribution of products and services that can significantly reduce the risk of loss from fire.

Contego is Latin for "to shield, defend, or protect". That is also the mission of our group. Today, Contego affiliates around the world offer solutions to the commercial and industrial sector as well as consumers. Structures and furnishings treated with Contego brand products offer a level of security and safety that can be measured in lives saved and property losses that are averted.

Contego was formed in 2000 for the express purpose of seeking out the best fire prevention products available and expanding their use through refinement, education and exposure. Most of Contego's products come from niche industrial sectors where they have been used successfully for years and sometimes decades. Contego acquires the products then refines them to make them more user friendly. The benefits of these tested products are then made available to broader consumer and commercial markets.

Our goal is to make the world a safer place. Our valued affiliates are essential to that ambition. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Contego International and looking for ways to be a part of our worldwide family.
