E-ONE is pleased to announce the appointment of Marcé Fire Fighting Technology as the exclusive dealer for South Africa.

Marcé, located in Centurion in the Gauteng province, began selling imported fire apparatus in 1998 but have since expanded to include service and maintenance of fire apparatus and developed a local manufacturing workshop for building new vehicles.

"There are over 400 E-ONE vehicles in operation in South Africa and we are delighted to partner with such a reputable dealer with highly competent sales and maintenance staff and facilities, which naturally will enhance the development of new and existing clients in all nine provinces in South Africa as well as in Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique," said Luke de Koker, E-ONE's regional manager for Africa.

The dealership's commitment to quality and service has earned Marcé clients not only in South Africa but throughout Africa. The addition of E-ONE allows Marcé to offer the broadest line of fire apparatus available in Africa.

"Marcé has developed an excellent reputation with end-users in the municipal fire services, the national airport and air force sectors.  The same principles that E-ONE values - delivering a quality vehicle and superior after-sales service - are fundamental to the success of our business. We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with E-ONE, the largest independent manufacturer of Fire Apparatus in North America" said Danielle Steyn, Marcé CEO Sales & Marketing.
