Hale Products Inc, is a Fire and Rescue equipment company that consists of seven business units located throughout the world. Hale Products Inc. includes the brand names of Hale, Hurst, Class 1, Godiva, Lukas, Vetter and Dinglee -some of the most recognized brand names in the world for fire and rescue equipment. Hale Products, Incorporated was founded in 1914 by three Pennsylvania firefighters who believed they could build a better fire pump. Today, Hale Products, Inc. is much more than just fire pumps. In the last 92 years Hale Products has grown through new product innovation and strategic acquisitions to include rescue tools, engine controls / governors, valves, air bags, pressure gauges, hydraulic cylinders, struts, supports and Es-Key / multi-plexing systems. During the 1980s Hale made two key acquisitions of Hurst and Godiva. In 1984, Hale Products acquired Hurst. Hurst is the developer of the famed "Jaws of Life~R" line of rescue tools. The Jaws of Life rescue tools are designed for extrication of victims trapped in wrecked cars and other life-threatening situations. This purchase gave Hale its first entry into the rescue marketplace. In 1989, Hale acquired Godvia in Warwick, England. Godiva is a manufacturer of portable, high-pressure, and rear-mounted fire pumps and is one of the leading fire pump manufacturers outside the United States. The Godiva acquisition allowed Hale to bring the USA based Barton/American Godvia fire pump products under the Hale umbrella of products.
