The company now operates 16 locations nationwide supporting first responders
MEDINA, Ohio – Gear Wash, the nation’s leading fully verified Independent Service Provider (ISP) of PPE care and maintenance, has acquired TurnoutManagement and TurnoutRental, a Detroit-area operation, to its national network. The move strengthens the company’s Midwest presence and expands Gear Wash’s reach to 16 locations nationwide, including 15 facilities and a mobile unit, further reinforcing its position as the fire service industry’s fastest-growing ISP.
“Each addition to our network is guided by the same goal: helping fire departments get the PPE care they need with less downtime and greater confidence,” said Taylor Burke Gilman, President of Gear Wash. “Extending our presence into Detroit gives more departments access to NFPA 1850-compliant care and the full support of the industry’s largest Independent Service Provider.”
Gear Wash offers a wide spectrum of gear care and maintenance delivered by a team of trained and certified professionals. The location will also serve as a regional rental hub, providing departments with temporary PPE for training, academies, new hires, and while gear is out for service or awaiting delivery of custom gear, helping firefighters stay protected and operational without disruption.
The acquisition expands Gear Wash's ability to support departments across Michigan and the surrounding Midwest with local access to cleaning, advanced inspection, repair, and rental services. Customers will benefit from the resources, expertise, and nationwide support network of the industry's largest verified ISP.
“This is an exciting step for our business and, most importantly, for the fire departments and fire academies we serve," states Joel Weiner, owner of TurnoutManagement and TurnoutRental. "Our priority has always been our customers and our employees, and joining Gear Wash strengthens our ability to support them for years to come."
