NAFECO News Summer 26 Company Update

From Our Family to Yours: A Message from CEO Brandon Oaks

As we close out the second quarter of 2026, NAFECO CEO Brandon Oaks shares an update on the growth and milestones driving our company forward.

This quarter, we're proud to announce our expansion into Louisiana and South Mississippi as an authorized Rosenbauer territory, made possible through our partnership with the Bonaventure team. This growth strengthens our service capabilities and reinforces our commitment to supporting fire departments across an even wider footprint.

We were also honored to connect with customers and partners at several industry events this quarter, including the Georgia/Southeastern Fire Chiefs Conference, First There First Care, and Smoky Mountain Weekend.

Additional highlights from the quarter include a new uniform contract with Orange County, FL, and an apparatus order with Nashville Fire Department — both reflecting the trust our customers place in NAFECO to meet their equipment and service needs.

Our Industrial Safety team also hosted a successful Lunch N' Learn focused on hydration, featuring guest speakers and live demonstrations. If you missed it, you can watch the replay at Industrial Safety.

None of this progress would be possible without the continued trust and partnership of our customers, vendors, and the hard work of our team. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve those who serve others, and we look forward to what's ahead.
