Dana Safety Supply Tops 1M Square Feet of Upfitting Space

Public safety vehicle upfitter and public safety equipment supplier Dana Safety Supply (DSS) has surpassed 1,000,000 square feet of production space across 54 locations with over 600 active upfitting bays dedicated to serving law enforcement, fire and rescue, EMS, public works and other government agencies throughout the United States. With a 55th location soon to come, DSS continues to expand its ability to support the men and women who serve their communities, company officials stated in a press release.

“We’re certainly proud to celebrate this milestone, but it really represents more than just a number,” said David Russo, CEO of Dana Safety Supply. “It’s about celebrating what that size allows us to do for the officers, firefighters, medics and public servants who depend on us every day. We are incredibly grateful for the trust our customers place in us, and we never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with it. Every new location, every new technician hired, every additional bay and every square foot of production space exists for one purpose: helping agencies serve their communities more effectively.”

Streamlined Upfitting Process

With facilities strategically located across the country, vehicle manufacturers can drop-ship vehicles directly from the OEM to DSS locations for complete vehicle upfitting, helping agencies place vehicles into service sooner. Supported by more than $60 million in available inventory and 800 employees, DSS can often begin builds immediately using equipment already in stock, noted the release. When specialized equipment is required, the company can preorder products before vehicles arrive, allowing technicians to begin installation as soon as the vehicle is received from the manufacturer.

While the company’s facilities, inventory and production capacity continue to grow, Dana Safety Supply believes its greatest strength has always been its people. Every location is led by professionals who live and work in the communities they serve. They understand the agencies, the challenges and the relationships that make every project successful. That local knowledge allows DSS to combine the capabilities of the nation’s largest public safety vehicle upfitter with the responsiveness, accessibility and personal service of a hometown business, the company said.

As Dana Safety Supply continues its nationwide expansion, the company says its mission remains unchanged: provide exceptional service, build high-quality emergency vehicles and give America’s public safety professionals the equipment they need to safely and effectively perform their jobs.
