lightning protection fabricator
A manufacturer of lightning rods and other equipment that protects buildings from lightning damage.
A lightning protection supplier is a manufacturer of lightning rods and other equipment which protects a building and its contents from lightning damage.
The product is protective equipment for the building and its contents. A lightning rod is one such product; the definition also covers other equipment with the same lightning-protection purpose.
This protective function is distinct from the generation of electricity or the supply of ordinary electrical connection equipment. A company that makes a generator or an outlet is described by that product, rather than by lightning protection unless it also makes the protective equipment.
