Improve Business Resilience: Lightning Strike Damage is Preventable 

A row of buildings are lined up on the side of a street.

Lightning strikes are a significant but often underestimated threat to businesses of all sizes. In the United States, they are responsible for 3-5% of all U.S. commercial property insurance claims, with fires resulting from lightning strikes costing billions in payouts each year. Small and medium-sized businesses are particularly vulnerable, as the financial impact of such incidents can be devastating.


Eliminating Operational Downtime and Losses 

To eliminate these risks, businesses can secure their structures with advanced lightning protection systems, like CMCE Lightning Suppression. This technology not only protects physical assets but also ensures business continuity by preventing damage and operational downtime due to lightning strikes.

 

The CMCE device prevents lightning formation by draining the electrical charges from the atmosphere and safely grounding them through a grounding wire. This process creates a lightning-free protective shield over structures of all sizes. 


A Critical Investment for Long-Term Resilience 

Lightning protection is not just about avoiding immediate damage – it's about ensuring the long-term resilience of a structure. By removing the likelihood of insurance claims and costly repairs, businesses can protect their bottom line and focus on growth. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor, with its cutting-edge technology, offers businesses a robust solution to one of the most unpredictable threats. 

Invest in the future of your business by providing a vital layer of defense to avoid the catastrophic consequences of lightning-related fires and damage.
