Nassau Fire Apparatus Renews Gold Sales Contract with Braun Industries
Since 1991, Nassau Fire Apparatus has been a proud dealer for Braun Industries, representing their ambulances and innovations. In just 8 short years of being a dealer for Braun, Nassau Fire (formerly All Area Sales) was named one of Braun's gold dealers. To be a Braun gold dealer you must meet or exceed the sales goals set by Braun for that year which Nassau Fire has continued to do, even selling an astounding 29 Braun ambulance models during one year. With the quality and innovation that Braun ambulances bring to the table, Nassau Fire found that customers saw the value and usually became repeat buyers of the Braun product in years to come.
Nassau Fire Apparatus has continued to be a major asset to Braun Industries by constantly hitting milestones for the company on many different occasions, a few of them being:
- Sold the first Municipal fleet of Braun Chief XL’s to Nassau County Police Department. Nassau Fire has managed to keep the entire fleet of 43 units still in service with some units dating back as far as 2003.
- Sold the first SLFEA (Super Long Slope Side) medium duty ambulance on a Braun model to Brentwood Legion Ambulance
- Sold the first Express model fleet of 22 trucks to Catholic Health Services of Melville
- Sold more Raider series ambulances than any other dealer for Braun to the Jewish owned and self-funded Hotzolah organization
Not only has Nassau Fire Apparatus proven itself worthy to Braun with competent sales tactics, they have also developed programs that save their customers and taxpayers a substantial amount of money in the process. Nassau Fire developed a remounting program for the fleets on Long Island and upstate New York with savings of up to $ 70,000.00 per unit and a budgeted Preventive Maintenance program which saves the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars while also showing Fire department & ambulance Corp members how to budget and control their equipment costs. This relationship between Braun and Nassau Fire continues to be a win-win relationship for both business partners and customers alike.
In keeping up with the duties of a gold dealer for the past 12 years, Nassau Fire was offered a renewal contract to continue their relationship with Braun Industries. With prosperity on both ends of this business deal, Nassau Fire Apparatus agreed to the contract and renewed for 5 more years of service with Braun.
