About Pierce, An Oshkosh Company

At Pierce Manufacturing, we build trucks that protect people and communities around the world. Since 1913, we've evolved from building truck bodies on Model T Ford chassis in an old converted church to creating highly customized, carefully designed and engineered pumpers, aerials, tankers, and rescue units that have no equal. Today, you’ll find over 30 000 Pierce apparatuses on the road that are making a difference in people’s lives every day.
