PMI Denver Expands with New Location

PMI Ropes

Pigeon Mountain Industries, the nation’s leading provider of high-quality safety, rescue, and climbing gear, has expanded its facilities. On September 1, 2018, PMI moved its Denver training facility and sales offices to a larger location at 4459 Jason Street Denver, CO 80211.

According to PMI CEO Loui McCurley, the new facility will accommodate the rapid growth of the company’s training business and allow for the expansion of the sales staff. The greatly enlarged training floor and dedicated classrooms will offer multiple towers and props, providing students with an unmatched, hands-on learning experience. The move will also provide a testing area for NWSA (National Wireless Safety Alliance) Telecommunication Tower Technician practical examinations.

PMI Global Headquarters and USA manufacturing remains in Lafayette, Georgia, where it has been making innovative products for over 40 years. With an increase in sales and a dedication to filling orders in 48 hours, PMI manufacturing has added new rope braiding machines and high-tech sewing machines. Customer service and administration will continue to be available by phone at PMI Georgia: 706-764-1437.

Westport (CT) Receives Grant for Fire Equipment

Additionally, it can be used to lower a victim to safety."  

Meadows said the department's firefighters were issued a length of rope and a carabiner for this purpose for the last twenty years, which has proven to be an unrealistic option during an emergency.
