GALLS, a leading supplier of uniforms and tactical gear for public safety and military professionals, has acquired Phoenix Safety Outfitters, based in Springfield, Ohio. Phoenix is known for its high-quality fire personal protective equipment (PPE), uniforms, and services, further enhancing GALLS’ commitment to America’s first responders.
Founded in 1992 and run by Dennis Grogan and Steve Harting since 2007, Phoenix operates from a 40,000-square-foot headquarters and distribution center, with a dedicated SCBA service center in Saginaw, Michigan. The company supports customers across seven states, utilizing a fleet of 11 mobile service vans, and offers essential services including rental, cleaning, repair, and alterations.
This acquisition provides GALLS and Phoenix customers with enhanced product offerings and improved services. Phoenix’s clientele will benefit from GALLS’ extensive resources, while GALLS will utilize Phoenix’s expertise in specialized PPE services.
The partnership reflects GALLS’ commitment to “Proud To Serve Those Who Serve,” enabling both companies to deliver a broader range of products and solutions for first responders.
KEY QUOTES:
“At GALLS, we believe in standing behind the people who stand on the front lines. Serving firefighters, fire departments, and all first responders isn’t just part of our business—it’s part of our purpose. We have been planning a major move to bring the industry-leading GALLS service model and our eQuip customer portal to the fire services market. Acquiring a great company like Phoenix and leveraging the expertise of Dennis and Steve to align Phoenix’s offerings with GALLS existing products and services is exactly where I think GALLS’ needs to be.”
Mike Fadden, CEO
“Steve Harting and I are very excited! Mike Fadden and GALLS see the PHOENIX vision and have embraced our disruptive go-to-market strategy. Mike is keeping the company intact as an independent division to maintain focus on the fire service industry. This is incredibly positive for our customers, the PHOENIX team, and our future.”
