Kochek

PUTNAM, CT (April 20, 2018) – Kochek, a premier manufacturer of water movement products for fire, water works and irrigation markets, will unveil a new line of chrome aluminum products at FDIC International 2018. Kochek is also announcing that it will now offer 24-48 hour shipping on  an expanded variety of industry standard parts.

“We are excited to announce these new product offerings at FDIC,” said George J. Wessner, President and CEO of Kochek Company, LLC..

The new line of chrome aluminum products are lighter in weight than brass, thus contributing to a reduction in overall vehicle weight. These new products include fittings designed for fire apparatus, developed to maintain the durability and Kochek standard in holding up to the rigors of the job.

With the new shipping program, Kochek is now offering 24-48 shipping on additional industry standard parts. This program includes products ranging from threaded and storz adapters to elbows and valves with these adapters. All are offered with hard coat durability in natural or black hard coat colors.

“Customers shouldn’t have to wait weeks for standard parts,” said Wessner. “Our new lead times of 24-48 hours will help our customers who have deadlines to meet.”

Kochek is participating in the FDIC International on April 23-28, 2018 at the Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. FDIC, also known as the Fire Department Instructors’ Conference, is the largest firefighter conference and expo in North America. Kochek will be located at booth #4312 and will have its fire product line on display.
