Combined Sales Operations For Firefighting Systems
Latitude Technologies Corporation of Victoria B.C. announced
the signing of an exclusive supply agreement with SEI Industries
Ltd. of Delta, B.C. Monday. The agreement covers the integration of
real-time sensor gathering, satellite relay and information display
technologies for the entire Bambi Bucket product line.
The plan is for that joint sales channels which will be used to
develop packaging opportunities for Bambi Bucket/Latitude customers
and a ‘one stop shop’ supply chain will be introduced.
“Combining the strengths of SEI’s Bambi Buckets with
the proven firefighting telemetry experience and quality products
of Latitude Technologies seemed natural,” commented Mark
Insley, President of Latitude.
SEI has been building the most popular firefighting bucket
systems since 1982 while Latitude developed the first flight
following and data systems for the BC ministry of Forests and
Alaska BLM in 2001. Since then, Latitude has continued to pioneer
the science of fire information systems by developing suppressant
monitoring technologies for all air tanker types. “Latitude
cut their teeth in the forest firefighting business and we feel the
combination of both our companies’ expertise will provide
innovative and cost effective products for our customers”
added Mark Tayler, General Manager of SEI Industries.
The Bambi Bucket is a collapsible aerial firefighting system
designed for use with helicopters. It can deliver up to 2,600
gallons of water or fire retardant, according to SEI.
