values like integrity and determination on their walls, yet they often remain mere words on a plaque. Meanwhile, at Frazer, we spent months collaborating with a focus group to develop core values that authentically mirror our company ethos, to the extent of having them printed out on t-shirts. These core values have even become part of the day-today vocabulary of our employee base, as they regularly use phrases like‘ our world is not flat,’‘ destroying doubt through determination,’ and‘ family by choice.’ Living those core principles every day empowers our team to feel connected to the organization and fosters a sense that they are contributing something more than just getting a paycheck. Given that we build vehicles that are lifesaving and can directly impact people’ s lives by supporting first responders, each member of our team comes to work driven by a shared mission and vision. This solidarity stems from our commitment to these core values, reinforcing the bond and trust that we have cultivated within our company,” he enlightens.

“ Furthermore, our paint department is also undergoing significant advancements with the implementation of a robotic sanding and paint preparation station to achieve uniform surface finishes. Alongside that, we are introducing multi-stage automated paint booths equipped with an automated paint delivery system, a robotic painting arm, and Automated Guided Vehicles( AGVs) to transport modules through the painting process. These innovations will enhance paint quality and reduce production time. Additionally, our new facility features a well-lit and air-conditioned customer delivery showroom, which provides a comfortable environment for clients to inspect their vehicles upon completion.
