Shortly thereafter, the strategic decision was made to concentrate on fire alarm systems in Middle and East Tennessee with installation and service becoming additional offerings to benefit the client. One of several early milestones that helped Gallaher significantly grow its reputation was the successful completion of the fire alarm systems installation in the high-profile Chinese and Korean Pavilions at the 1982 World’s Fair.
