I am happy to announce that after 36 years, the time has come for me to take a step back and reduce my involvement with the Company. As a result, the decision has been made to sell Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. to the REV Group, who has taken ownership as of today.
Rest assured, Ferrara will still be the same company and continue to make the same reliable, heavy-duty Ferrara products. I believe this is a great step for the Company and will provide for more resources, funds and a larger customer base to move the business forward in a positive direction.
I will still be involved in the business in an advisory role, but will not be involved in the day-to-day activities. Bert McCutcheon will fulfill my current role. Bert and I have worked together for over 26 years and he knows the business as well as I do. You are all in good hands.
I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your support and involvement in making Ferrara Fire Apparatus the remarkable company that it is today. I could not have done this without you. To all of the wonderful employees, you have made such a huge impact on me personally and the Company. Thank you! And to my loyal customers, I would not be here without the business and friendships we have shared over the years. Thank you!
Best regards,
Chris Ferrara
