Founded in 1890 by C.H. Sutphen, Sutphen Corporation currently stands as the oldest family-owned and operated fire apparatus manufacturer in the United States.
Built on the foundations of family, innovation and service to firefighters and communities around the world, our family-owned organization has been a fire industry staple for over 135 years.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, Sutphen Corporation is currently under the leadership of fifth-generation family president, Shelby Sutphen Chambers, and fourth-generation family vice president, Julie Sutphen Phelps.
The two fire industry leaders were preceded by their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers and continue to lay foundation for the future of Sutphen’s fifth and sixth generation family members.
