Firematic Overview
What Pierce is changing
Pierce's expansion program is a coordinated push to increase capacity without treating quality as an afterthought. The work spans added buildings, line relocation, paint capacity, robotics, laser cutting, panel bending, welding automation, materials storage, kitting, training, and workplace improvements.
For Firematic customers, the important point is practical: these investments are meant to make apparatus production flow better, reduce avoidable rework, strengthen inspection points, and support shorter lead times while keeping custom apparatus standards intact.
