Sutphen Corporation Announces New Dealer in Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, and Western Maryland

Amlin, OH—Sutphen Corporation has announced Fire Apparatus Service Technicians (F.A.S.T.), of Somerset, Pennsylvania, as the official Sutphen sales and service representative for Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, and Western Maryland.

“This dealer transition is prompted by the retirement of longtime Sutphen representative, Jeff Britt,” says Clark Green, national sales manager for the Sutphen Corporation. “We sincerely thank Jeff for his dedication to serving Sutphen customers for the past 41 years. With Jeff’s assistance, the transition to F.A.S.T. is taking shape, and has been smooth and seamless thus far. Sutphen has been utilizing F.A.S.T. for service work in this territory for over a decade, so combining the amazing sales team that Jeff has built with F.A.S.T.’s reputation for providing excellent customer service is a perfect marriage.”

Owners of F.A.S.T, Bob Feathers and Brandon McKenzie, have more than 60 years of combined experience in the fire apparatus manufacturing and service field. “Working with Sutphen over the past decade has allowed us to experience the company’s commitment to the customer before, during, and after the sale. This customer focus is the same philosophy that F.A.S.T. has built its reputation on” stated Brandon. “Sutphen takes pride in the trucks they manufacture, and F.A.S.T. is excited to be on the team that sells those products.”

F.A.S.T. has multiple fully-stocked service trucks and trained technicians that can do anything from electrical repairs to pump overhauls in the field. They also offer in-station services such as, but not limited to: aerial maintenance, aerial cleaning, preventive maintenance, pump testing, ground ladder testing, generator services, and apparatus fluid changes. More extensive repairs and services including repainting or a total refurbishment of a unit can be done at the F.A.S.T. six-bay service and fabrication shop located in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
