Another FDIC has come and gone, and we were proud to be part of such a wonderful event. 2012 was a record breaker, making it the largest conference in 84 years! Organizers reported nearly 30,000 attendants participated in classroom sessions and training events and filled the exhibit halls. Check out a great wrap up video from Bobby Halton of FireEngineering.com below.
Braun Ambulances had six units on display at the show, including three in our main booth and others in the GM, Ford, and RAM chassis booths. You can check out images from the event on our Facebook page. We got a lot of great feedback from visitors who enjoyed seeing our ambulances in more than one location. They were especially excited about our new Signature Series and EZ Door Forward models!
FDIC is a great opportunity for us to touch base in person with our customers. We had a wonderful time catching up with everyone who stopped by, including Miami Dade Fire Rescue, Unified Fire Authority, Delta Township, and Nassau County to name a few. We also want to give a special thanks to the departments that shared their ambulances with us - Volusia County Fire Rescue, Sharonville Fire Department, West Licking Fire District, and Warrenville Fire District.
Members from our world class ambulance dealerships were also in attendance at the show. Many of them spent time with us in our booth and other models throughout the exhibit hall, catching up with their customers and speaking with potential clients about our ambulances. With their help, we were able to make this year's trip to FDIC a hugely successful one. We cannot thank them enough for their support and commitment to Braun Industries!
We look forward to seeing you next year at FDIC 2013, April 22-27, 2013
