The collective of our businesses and the resulting product portfolio offers a complete package for our customers,” said Bill Simmons, group general manager IDEX Fire Suppression Group. “Customers know Hale and Class 1 and Godiva as separate entities, but we want them to understand that all three together create a total solution approach.”

Hale Products manufactures fire pumps, portable firefighting pumps, foam products and electrical systems for emergency services professionals.

There is immense value when you are able to purchase a complete system and can trust that every part of that system was designed, manufactured and tested as a unit,” Simmons said.

Centralized customer service center

Hale has also expanded production space and upgraded its testing capabilities in Ocala, a move that enables the company to expand multiple product lines from a single location. Customers also can obtain order updates, technical support and other information through a centralized customer service center.

We are a streamlined, more efficient, agile organization,” Simmons said. “With an eye on the future, we’re excited to be able to tell this comprehensive story of our brand.”
