Pierce Manufacturing has announced an update to its independent dealer network, confirming that Emergency Equipment Professionals (EEP) is now part of Ten-8 Fire and Safety, expanding dealership coverage across Alabama and Mississippi.
As a result of the integration, Ten-8 Fire and Safety will extend its Pierce dealership presence and enhance apparatus sales, service and support capabilities for fire departments across both states.
The company will also provide sales and service support for Oshkosh Airport Products in the region.
Integration of teams and continuity of local service
The majority of EEP’s workforce, comprising more than 75 employees, will be integrated into Ten-8 Fire and Safety.
Existing locations will continue operating locally under the Ten-8 name, ensuring continuity of service and established customer relationships.
EEP has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality emergency vehicle solutions and dependable service across Alabama and Mississippi, supported by long standing relationships within the fire service community.
Building on experience and customer focused approach
Ten-8 Fire and Safety brings more than four decades of experience serving the fire industry across Florida and Georgia.
The company is recognised for its customer first approach, experienced personnel and comprehensive service offering.
Keith Chapman, President and CEO of Ten-8 Fire and Safety, said: “We are committed to building on the strong foundation established by the EEP team by maintaining local relationships, investing in service capabilities and ensuring departments have access to the high-quality apparatus and support they rely on.”
Enhanced support for fire departments in the southeast
