On February 13, 2026, Darley was recognized as Pierce Mfg. Supplier of the Year 2025, honoring a partnership built on unwavering performance, technical excellence, and over a century of shared commitment to the fire service.
Jay Junkins, VP of Supply Chain at Pierce, stated that “Darley supported validation and addressed issues quickly to keep production stable and predictable. That stability matters to the dealers. It protects our delivery schedules, and it reduces the prices. The system they provide is mission‑critical and it must perform under strict conditions and be reliable when lives are on the line.”
Pierce also emphasized the legacy Darley brings to every apparatus: “A trusted name in the fire service since 1908, with decades of innovation built into Pierce apparatus.”
Paul Darley, Chairman & CEO of Darley, said, “Thanks, Jay, and the entire Pierce team and the entire Pierce dealer network. You don’t know how much this means to us. I’ll tell you, we started working with Pierce about 30 years ago, and to imagine us standing here in front of you, accepting this award is simply momentous. Our team at Darley works so hard every day to earn your trust and respect, and those out in the field.”
