Trinity Apparatus Joins PL Custom Body And Equipment Co., Inc. (PLCB)
March 17, 2022 – Manasquan, NJ
P.L. Custom Body and Equipment Co., Inc. (PLCB) is pleased to announce the addition of Trinity Apparatus, of Conroe, TX, to its growing family of dealers. Trinity Apparatus will be providing sales and service of both PL Custom Emergency Vehicles and Rescue 1 in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Buster Barsh, President of Trinity Apparatus, had the following to say about this new partnership: “We are very excited to be a part of the PLCB family! Carmen and I were very impressed with PLCBs’ quality work, awesome factory environment, innovations, and capabilities! We are confident that with our 20‐year experience in sales and service, combined with PLCBs’ over 75 years of expert manufacturing, it will be a win for Service Providers throughout our States. Thank you for this opportunity.”
Chad Newsome, National Sales Manager for PLCB, welcomes the addition of Trinity Apparatus to the PLCB family. “It is unusual for a provider to steer you to a dealer candidate, but that is how I connected with the team at Trinity Apparatus. I was fortunate to meet Buster and his wife, Carmen, as well as the rest of the team from Trinity Apparatus as a direct result of a provider’s recommendation. The Trinity Apparatus family will be a welcome addition to our PL Custom / Rescue 1 family. We look forward to making new inroads into the Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma markets as a direct result of this strategic move. All of us here in Manasquan look forward to a strong future with Trinity Apparatus.”
