Tegris Inc is an independent corporation with no affiliations or subsidiaries. The TEGRIS Fire model was created by two fire sprinkler contractors, Robert & Andrew Moren, who realized the impact the lack of ITM enforcement was having on businesses. They utilized their combined 65 years of experience as service providers to develop a platform that is useful for inspection contractors.
The Morens also own a separate fire sprinkler contracting business that operates in Western Washington. This company has a primary focus on system design and installation, along with a small service division. Recognizing that other local service providers would have privacy concerns, Tegris was established as an independent corporation with separate employees that develop and operate the company. This team established very strict internal and external Privacy Policies that are legally binding, and prohibit giving an unfair or unique advantage to any individual or company.
While the Morens maintain shares in both companies, the two independent corporations are owned by different groups of shareholders with very different interests. Tegris is focused on the goal of achieving 100% ITM compliance, and has a national and international outreach, with advocates and team members from all over the continent.
The name Tegris was chosen because it has roots in the word Integrity, which is a key value for the company and is a mandatory trait of every employee. Simply put, there has never been, and will never be, a conflict of interest.
To protect the integrity of the process there are strict requirements in place, both within the Terms & Conditions and within the Service Agreement between the user jurisdiction and Tegris, that forbid Tegris from misusing the data it collects. Most importantly, Tegris has processed thousands of inspection reports since its inception and has done so without violating these privacy requirements.
