As always, FDIC International is serving as a springboard for new products from various manufacturers in the fire service. To that end, this year Rosenbauer America is introducing a 75-foot midmount articulated platform aerial on a single rear axle.

According to Harold Boer, president of Rosenbauer America, “The most important part of exhibiting is to get our product in front of customers and to get their feedback.” Additionally, Boer states that, “Attendees get benefit from seeing new products that they can use and to give feedback on what they see so we can continue to improve our products.”

Attendees have their expectations for what they expect to see at FDIC International, and so do manufacturers. Boer comments, “We expect FDIC International 2016 to be a great show and the one where we can see more customers in one location than any other show.
