FCL to expand lithium battery fire extinguishing products in U.S. with new distributors

Full Circle Lithium (FCL) has added two new U.S.-based distributors and representative partners to expand its national network to ten distributors for its FCL-X lithium battery fire extinguishing product lines.  

​Expansion across the U.S. with strong distribution channels 

FCL has entered into new distribution and representation agreements with Golden Enterprises Inc. (serving New York) and SHUR-SALES & Marketing Inc. (covering Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Utah). Through these partnerships, FCL will now offer enhanced sales, support, and representation in California and New York — two key states for the adoption of lithium-ion battery safety solutions and emergency preparedness.

This expansion propels FCL's U.S. presence to new heights and sets the stage for potential revenue growth in 2026. By securing representation in these states, FCL is positioning itself to access large, influential markets where demand for lithium-ion battery fire safety solutions is likely to be strong. As demand increases for FCL-X fire extinguishing solutions, first responders and organizations across electric vehicle, industrial, residential, and e-mobility sectors can now rely on protection against lithium-ion battery incidents, delivering safety and peace of mind where it matters most.​

"Partnering with Golden Enterprises and SHUR-SALES enables FCL to reach two of the largest and most advanced public safety markets in the U.S.," said Carlos Vicens, CEO of FCL. "These partnerships position us to better serve municipalities, first responders, and commercial and industrial clients that are facing an urgent need for effective lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing agents, given the lack of effective extinguishing agents in the market."

Growing U.S. Government and waste management vertical opportunities

FCL has also been active in discussions to expand its reach not only regionally but also through distinct large industry verticals in the U.S. Opportunities to deploy FCL-X products within U.S. Government agencies (gsa.com listed) and the waste management sector are two prime examples of large, important verticals for FCL. Across the country, organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Defense (DOD), Military, and public and private waste management industry participants are confronting an alarming rise in lithium battery-related fires with no effective solution prior to FCL-X.

These fires are occurring in waste transfer trucks and stations, recycling centers, landfills, transit depots, and postal facilities, often triggered by discarded consumer electronics and e-mobility lithium batteries. Despite increasing frequency, most facilities lack a safe, effective suppression solution, a gap that FCL-X is uniquely designed to fill. FCL expects to announce initial pilot deployments and collaborative projects over the coming months, aimed at helping these agencies and industries mitigate one of the fastest-growing fire risks in North America and globally.
