Seagrave adds to distribution network

Seagrave Fire Apparatus has announced that two companies will represent Seagrave for sales and service throughout Ontario and Quebec.

Seagrave Chairman and CEO A. Joseph Neiner said, "Ontario Fire Truck and Eastway Emergency Vehicles offer a complete solution to major urban centers and small volunteer Fire Departments seeking the best value in fire apparatus.

"Between these two companies, Seagrave's complete product line is offered including custom mid-mount and rear-mount platforms (Aerialscope II and Apollo II), tractor-drawn aerials, 75 foot and 100 foot aerial ladders and stainless steel or aluminum pumpers, tankers and rescues," Neiner stated. "Additionally, Seagrave's Optimum line of commercial pumpers, tankers and rescues with aluminum and polyprene bodies is available."

Ontario Fire Truck (OFT) is located in Dundas, Ontario, and will represent Seagrave throughout Northern, Western, Southern and Central Ontario.

OFT President Wayne Robillard said, "We provide a knowledgeable sales staff with more than 60 years combined experience in the fire industry and service expertise of more than 30 years. Ontario Fire Truck is a full service and repair facility, featuring fully stocked parts in-house and two mobile units with 24-hour/7 day a week service."

Eastway Emergency Vehicles is located in Carleton Place, Ontario, and will represent Seagrave for primarily aerial sales in Northern and Eastern Ontario; all of Quebec; and Northern New York, USA. Eastway is family owned and operated, and has been in business for more than 43 years. Eastway features a corporate office at 1995 Merivale Road in Ottawa and a satellite location at 7 Industrial Avenue in Carleton Place.

"Major collision repairs, refurbishment, parts, sales and service are handled out of 38,000+ square feet of company-owned facilities by more than 40 experienced, bilingual staff," said Eastway President Neil Greene.

"Ontario Fire Truck and Eastway's experience and well-established companies combined with Seagrave's 130 year tradition of providing the best lifetime value in apparatus, will provide superior sales and service support for Seagrave customers," concluded Neiner.
