Lakeland Industries, Inc. has unveiled the next phase of its strategic expansion via its recently acquired subsidiary, California PPE Recon, Inc.
With the lease of a new 8,000 square-foot facility on a half-acre parcel in Fresno, CA, California PPE is positioned to expand its service footprint.
The expansion also aims to strengthen its operational capacity and introduce additional service offerings to support its growing customer base in the California firefighting market and beyond.
California PPE has executed a lease for a newly-secured 8,000 square-foot facility strategically located in Fresno, CA and sized to accommodate its expanding operations.
This expanded footprint will enable greater throughput of decontamination, inspection and repair services, rental gear logistics, and increased training capacity for fire service clients.
The half-acre site allows for ancillary support space, equipment staging and vehicle access, positioning the business to scale efficiently as demand grows.
The upgraded facility ensures California PPE will more effectively serve its existing Southern California fire department customers while enabling Lakeland to leverage this platform to extend services into additional public safety markets.
The expanded operations will support faster turnaround times, improved workflows, potential additional shifts and the opportunity to offer new service modalities over the coming quarters.
Additional future services under consideration include expanded rental gear programs, training and consulting for NFPA 1850 care and maintenance standards, and onsite inspection deployments.
Each of which aligns with Lakeland’s service-oriented growth objectives.
Jim Jenkins, President, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of Lakeland explained: “Expanding California PPE’s footprint with this new 8,000-square-foot facility is a major milestone for our US service platform.
“This investment underscores our confidence in the long-term growth of the decontamination, inspection, repair and rental market for fire service PPE.
“With enhanced infrastructure and operational scale in place, we are well positioned to meet growing demand, deliver elevated service levels to our customers and unlock new service capabilities that will deepen our recurring revenue streams and strengthen Lakeland’s overall growth trajectory.”
