Sutphen Corporation announced today that FAS Emergency Vehicles will be their new dealer in Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California. 

Based out of Laguna Hills, California, FAS Emergency Vehicles is a family owned and operated business, dedicated to providing the highest quality products and services available in the emergency response industry.

FAS Emergency Vehicles President Mike Virnig states, "We are pleased
to be affiliated with Sutphen and the 120 years of history that it represents.  The
quality of Sutphen products and its continuous family ownership are just what the
fire industry in the Southwest is looking for at this time.  All of us at
FAS Emergency Vehicles are excited about the opportunity to represent
Sutphen in this region. We represent a select number of manufacturers that produce the highest quality products available today."

Mike further explains, "Our mission is to see that each individual customer's expectations are not only met but exceeded and that we always treat everyone as we would expect to be treated ourselves. We value family above business and encourage a home/work balance and always consider the impact our actions have on our families. We are loyal to our customers, with a hope to gain loyalty from them."

"This is a great opportunity for us." says Ken Creese, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Sutphen Corporation.  "Over the last few years, our customer base in the Western Region has continued to grow.  We needed a distributor in that region that could be an extension of our corporate support.  Someone who can be hands on with the customer, in all aspects of the relationship.  Sutphen is very committed to growing our market presence in the Southwest United States and further developing our brand in that region.  Teaming up with Mike and his organization at FAS Emergency Vehicles gives us solid footing to do just that.  We are planning some very aggressive marketing in the coming months leading up to the Fire House World Show in San Diego next February where we will debut a new product specifically designed to help further our sales efforts in that region"

Sutphen Corporation is proud to sponsor Lorenzo Abundiz in his mission to raise awareness and find a cure for firefighting related cancers.  

Lorenzo has battled and survived two types of these cancers and has organized this mission along with the support of his wife Peggy.  The Code 3 Crew will depart from Los Angeles on the 13th of July and travel across the country making stops at several host departments to spread their mission of hope and collect names of thier brothers and sisters who have fallen victim to cancer.  Those names will be read aloud in New York's Times Square on Saturday June 21st. 

"We at Sutphen are very proud to be able to assist Lorenzo and family in this mission"  Says Alissa McGlone, Marketing Coordinator for Sutphen Corporation.  "Firefighters risk so much to save the lives of others.  It just seemed like the right thing to do, to support the cause and show how much we appreciate everything they go through and risk."

The Code 3 Crew will bring their trip full circle, again stopping at various departments, and return back to Los Angeles with a welcome home reception.
