“We installed MN8 Foxfire’s illuminating safety products in our facility earlier this year and have been very impressed with the significant improvement to the overall safety for our team members,” said Jim Samocki, general manager of Doran Manufacturing. “After we saw the impact of the MN8 Foxfire products in action, our many years of experience of providing LED and incandescent light monitors and Sleeping Child Check for the school bus market lead us to pursue the option to create an offering of illuminating vehicle safety products for the bus and motorcoach markets.”
Zach Green, founder and CEO of MN8 Foxfire, added that “based on MN8 Foxfire’s focus and history of providing high quality illuminating products to make buildings a safer place, combined with Doran’s extensive history of providing safety products to the school bus and motorcoach markets, creating a collaborative agreement for MN8 Foxfire and Doran to create and deliver Advanced Photoluminescent Technology products fit extremely well with both companies’ dedication and commitment to innovation and safety.”
