Make Your Move to Marion


Get to Know Marion

Marion builds custom fire apparatus in the Northern Wisconsin town whose name we share. We are a 112 year-old family owned and operated business and count, in our extended family, a dedicated group of 270+ employees including: engineers, electricians, welders, fabricators, painters, service, sales and support professionals.  The Marion family also includes every Department that we’ve ever built a truck for, and every firefighter who rides to the scene in it, and it includes every community that we help to protect.

A Marion truck is custom built from the ground up, from the highest quality components to your exact specifications.  We have an open communication philosophy that runs through our entire manufacturing process, from the initial design consultations to your final inspections in our climate controlled service bays.  We do not push you to a cookie cutter design. You want a 2000 GPM pump?  We’ll install it the brand you want.  Need a 1,000 gallon capacity tank, we’ll spec the chassis and body to accommodate it.  Need a low hose bed, or extra storage for lifting bags and cribbing?  Our engineers will design an answer.  We will work with you to design and build the best rescue, pumper, tanker, aerial or hybrid rescue/pumper to serve your community.

We build trucks that are designed to last using extruded aluminum with precise laser cut edges and welded seams.  We incorporate advanced manufacturing techniques with the latest engineering software and a tradition of quality stretching back to 1905.  We build relationships by listening to you, our customer, and delivering on our promises.

What can we build for you?
