o   FRR architectural enclosures (pressurization and exhaust)

o   FRR shafts (including space and cost savings)

o   Combination fire/smoke dampers (including damper relocation)

Matt Page is the Engineering Business Development Manager for Conquest Firespray. A native New Yorker, Matt started his career in fire protection as a Project Manager for a sprinkler contractor. After learning the industry and gaining valuable knowledge about system design and operation, an opportunity to work for a major fire suppression product manufacturer moved him to the West Coast. Matt spent 4 years as Business Development Manager for the Western US providing new product information and technical applications support to the engineering community. 2022 brought about another opportunity on the passive side of the industry to join the team at Conquest, where his focus is still on supporting designers and specifiers of fire-rated ventilation systems. Conquest manufactures Flamebar Fire-Rated Ductwork (FRD) used to achieve code compliant fire-resistance ratings for ventilation systems in a cost-effective and space saving manner.
