Spartan Emergency Response, a brand of REV Group Inc. subsidiary Spartan Fire LLC and a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus has shared it has broken ground on a facility expansion today with South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden offering his support.
This comes after REV Group announced a $20 million investment in the facility during its second-quarter earnings call on 4 June.
The investment marks a milestone in efforts to increase production capacity by 40% for its fully custom Spartan Emergency Response apparatus as well as its semi-custom fire trucks that can be completed and delivered in under a year.
The expansion will also increase the facility’s painting and fabrication process capabilities across the Brandon campus.
Mike Virnig, President of REV Specialty Vehicles Segment shared: “We are delighted to host our groundbreaking ceremony today to announce our plans for expansion.
“This investment will double our manufacturing footprint and help us meet the rising demand from fire departments across the nation by allowing us to build more fire apparatus and deliver it faster.”
The expansion will also bring lasting economic benefits to the Brandon and Sioux Falls region:
South Dakota Gov. Rhoden shared: “Thank you to Spartan Emergency Response for your heart of service and for your heart to provide a quality product to protect people and to serve people which in most cases is on their worst day.”
Other officials and guests who attended included; South Dakota Lieutenant Governor Tony Venhuizen, City of Brandon Mayor Harry Buck, Chad Krier, Constituent Services Representative at the Office of United States Senator Mike Rounds.
