The engagement marks a significant milestone for the Toronto-based company, which specializes in lithium-ion battery fire protection. Under the terms of the order, FCL-X will provide construction support and comprehensive Health, Safety and Environmental services. These efforts are designed to safeguard personnel and assets as Kia expands its vehicle electrification efforts.

Carlos Vicens, CEO of FCL-X, noted that the partnership validates the company's shift toward serving complex battery environments. Chad Carver, VP of Sales and Operations, added that the project allows the firm to apply its suppression technology within one of the most rapidly evolving automotive manufacturing landscapes. The scope of work is strictly limited to construction and HSE services and does not constitute a broader corporate endorsement or affiliation with the Kia brand.
