Pierce Facilities Upgrade Series Part Two: Fabrication and Welding Optimization
July 23, 2026
At Pierce® Manufacturing, each fire truck starts as raw steel and aluminum. Flat sheets and structural components undergo hundreds of cuts, bends and welds to become the chassis, body and aerial assemblies our customers depend on.
Our Facilities Upgrade Series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the advanced technologies and strategic investments enhancing Pierce’s manufacturing processes. In Part One, we explored how we are raising the bar for fire apparatus finishes. Next, we are diving into the welding and fabrication operations where each Pierce fire truck takes shape.
