Press Release – Sutphen Corporation

DUBLIN, Ohio – Sutphen Corporation announced today the addition of Heartland Fire Trucks, of Marlow, Oklahoma, as the official sales and service representative for the company in the state of Oklahoma.

Combined, the Heartland team has been selling to the fire service in Oklahoma for the past 40 years and will now be the sole, official, Sutphen dealer in the state.

“We are very fortunate to be able to represent a great, family-owned company such as Sutphen,” said Mark Richardson, co-owner of Heartland Fire Trucks. “We look forward to continuing our work on a new level with departments across the state of Oklahoma in partnership with Sutphen Corporation.”

Zach Rudy, director of sales and marketing for Sutphen Corporation, said Sutphen not only prides itself on building the highest-quality fire apparatus on the market, but it recognizes the importance of finding a team that is dedicated to the market for years to come.

“Sutphen has a tremendous legacy in Oklahoma. After being represented since the 1980’s from recently retired Dean Shumaker, it was important that we find the correct partner to continue that proud tradition,” said Rudy. “After meeting with leadership from Heartland Fire Trucks, their commitment to the Oklahoma fire service is exceptional, making them the ideal business partner for us. We are extremely happy to welcome Heartland Fire Trucks to the Sutphen team.”

Fourth-generation president of the family-owned company, Drew Sutphen, said that Heartland Fire Trucks will contribute to the company’s mission and values.

“The entire Sutphen team and family are excited to welcome Heartland Fire Trucks to our dealer network,” President Drew Sutphen said. “Through their dedication to customer focus and service after the sale, Heartland Fire Trucks will contribute to Sutphen’s mission to provide the safest, most reliable fire apparatus in the world.”
