Business Wire
Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp. (“AFTC”) is pleased to announce that
they have been awarded contracts to design and manufacture Custom
Pumpers for the City of Kingston. The City awarded the RFP to the
Arnprior firm in July; first expected delivery is early 2013.
Manufacturing of the trucks will be at the Company’s state-of-the
art plant in Arnprior, Ontario.
“We are pleased to be working with Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp.
to supply the City of Kingston with new Custom Pumpers. They are a
Canadian company that still builds strong, durable trucks with the
level of quality and service the City was looking for,” said Greg
Robinson, Executive Officer for Kingston Fire & Rescue.
AFTC is quickly building a reputation for designing and building
truly custom fire apparatus. Fire departments now can purchase a
truck that meets their individual requirements with quality that is
not found in today’s cookie-cutter industry.
AFTC has invested in high end CNC machining capabilities, laser
cutters, laser welders and other precision machinery in addition to
an experienced, skilled manufacturing team. The plant operates to
the high AS9100 Aerospace quality standards. AFTC shares the
Plaintree resources of almost 100 employees including professional
engineers, draftsmen, CAD operators, certified welders and support
staff.
“Our Parts & Service department is growing quickly also, as
customers are enjoying old fashioned customer service, excellent
pricing and most important – support!” said Graeme Cross, Business
Development Manager for Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp.
Arnprior Fire Trucks Corp. (www.arnpriorfiretrucks.net) was
formed with the key employees of Seagrave Canada (formerly Almonte
Fire Trucks) and they will continue building fire apparatus with
the pride and quality that they have for over 20 years.
