The United States Congress has designated October 28 as National First Responders Day.

Our team at Austin Hardware would like to say Thank You to all of our nation’s first responders on National First Responders Day. When we need you most, you are there for us. It requires courage and sacrifice to do what you do, and it is appreciated more than we could possibly convey.

As a supplier of hardware for fire, rescue, and emergency vehicles, we are incredibly proud of the small role we play in the industry.

We are especially proud of the Austin-engineered products designed to help keep first responders safe, including:

• B Lift Hydraulic Bariatric Lift
• LifeDefender™ Cabinet Security Frames
• Ceiling IV Hanger System for EMS Vehicles
• & more!

Thank a first responder in your community.

Current events have caused many manufacturers to shut down and then reopen. This can cause large backlogs of orders and have manufacturing teams scrambling to get product out the door.

Plexus products provide a wide range of structural adhesives that offer primerless adhesion for multiple materials. These adhesives often deliver as much strength, or more, than traditional joining techniques, with the added benefit of improved manufacturing output.
