Troman Industries’ CEO, Tony Cunnane, expressed his confidence in the acquisition, stating: “We have long represented Collins’ Fire Protection Systems through our partnership with Metro Transit Services. We’ve always believed that their products are of the highest quality, and when the opportunity to enter into this agreement presented itself, we saw a great opportunity to step in and continue offering these reliable solutions to the market.”
Troman Industries plans to take inventory from Collins’ Wilson location and begin handling shipping operations by April 1, 2025, to ensure that customers continue to receive timely and reliable service without interruption.
