In conjunction with the FDIC Tradeshow in Indianapolis, Indiana International Fire Buyer, a UK based magazine and digital news publication, held their annual international visitors reception and global achievement awards celebration in May 2018. That evening, in front of 250+ fire service leaders from around the globe, IDEX was recognized and awarded the International Achievement of the Year Award. The magazine recognized IDEX Fire & Safety for the business’s efforts to break the mold and redefine success within the challenging India market, while establishing a new level of firefighting safety and performance.

The Indian market has, traditionally, been a tougher market to “crack” for companies within the fire industry. However, as noted by the emcee of the event (and group sales manager for International Fire Buyer)- “IDEX has followed up their success in the country brilliantly.”

Accepting the Award on behalf of the IDEX Fire & Safety India Team was Gavin Coleman, Business Line Leader- Portables and key member of the pump team for India.​

“Helping hands is our community service team here. For the past several months, the team prepared for the February 14 event to support the Northern Illinois Food Bank,” said Senior HR Generalist, Chelsi Festa.

The Northern Illinois Food Bank partners with 800 feeding programs across 13 counties to serve neighbors needing food. Through the IDEX Foundation Liquid Controls secured funds to purchase food that was brought on-site to pack meal bags that they would later distribute to local pantries.

“The team took pride in packing bags and stamping them with our LC logo! We had over 80% of our employees participate, and were able to pack 1200 bags of food, which amounted to nearly 5,000 meals for families in need. During the event, we collected $201 in monetary donations. Every $1 donated provides $8 worth of groceries through the food bank. Overall, it was an awesome way to give back to our community and we were able to make it happen right at our site so many employees could easily participate.”

Great work to the Liquid Controls team!
