Mobile Fleet Lays Roots in Marion, South Carolina

Mobile Fleet, the public safety and automotive product authority for over 20 years, is expanding their wholesale distribution and manufacturing businesses in a 113,000 square foot building at 2215 Wise Chapel Court in Marion, SC.

Wholesale Public Safety, the company’s wholesale distribution arm, has an already large and growing network of dealers, up-fitters, and resellers throughout the United States to which it sells its wide catalog of public safety automotive products and accessories. The new warehouse & distribution center in Marion will expand company operations exponentially, allowing them to better serve their customers with an even larger product assortment, deeper inventory and stocking capacity, and better pricing on many of the items they buy every day.

Rockland Custom Products, Mobile Fleet’s manufacturing brand, has been crafting quality custom storage solutions, command centers, and accessories for the emergency service vehicles of many of the nation’s finest fire and police departments for more than a decade. The new Marion facility will catapult manufacturing abilities and operational efficiency for the company, so customers can expect to see new product lines and higher production from their experienced team over the years to come.

“The team at Mobile Fleet is extremely excited about our new South Carolina facility in Marion,” Robert E. Squicciarini Sr., the president and chief executive officer, said. “Locating this facility in South Carolina will make us much more competitive domestically and internationally, and we hope we will show other companies looking to expand or relocate what great places South Carolina and Marion County are for business.”

Mobile Fleet expects that the new facility will be open and fully operational sometime in the late fall months. For more information, check out the company’s website, www.mobilefleet.com as well as their Facebook and Instagram pages for Rockland Custom Products and Wholesale Public Safety.
