GALLS® Expands Reach through Acquisition of Phoenix Safety Outfitters, Enhancing Service Offerings

GALLS® Enhances Its Service Offerings with Phoenix Safety Outfitters Acquisition

In a strategic move to bolster its capabilities in serving the firefighting community, GALLS®, the leading supplier of tactical gear and uniforms in the United States, has announced its acquisition of Phoenix Safety Outfitters, LLC. Based in Springfield, Ohio, Phoenix Safety Outfitters has built a strong reputation as a provider of personal protective equipment (PPE) and uniforms tailored for fire services. This acquisition, effective August 2025, highlights GALLS' commitment to delivering high-quality products and unparalleled service to America’s first responders.

Strengthening Commitment to First Responders

Mike Fadden, the CEO of GALLS®, emphasized the significance of this acquisition by noting, "At GALLS®, we believe in standing behind the people who stand on the front lines. Serving firefighters and first responders is not just our business; it’s our purpose." With a dedicated focus on the fire services market, GALLS® plans to integrate Phoenix’s specialized offerings with its established service model and eQuip customer portal.

Founded in 1992 by industry veterans Dennis Grogan and Steve Harting, Phoenix Safety Outfitters has developed a comprehensive portfolio of services that include not only high-quality turnout gear and equipment but also rental, cleaning, and repair services. Operating from a substantial 40,000-square-foot facility in Springfield and leveraging a fleet of mobile service vans, Phoenix is well-equipped to meet the demands of fire departments across several states.

Leveraging Combined Expertise

GALLS' acquisition is not just about expanding its product lineup; it is also an opportunity to enhance service capacity. With Phoenix’s experienced team, GALLS® aims to elevate its support for fire departments and first responder agencies, ensuring that firefighters are always ready to take action. The acquisition will maintain Phoenix Safety Outfitters as an independent division, allowing it to continue its specialized focus while benefitting from GALLS’ extensive resources and market reach.

"We are incredibly excited about this partnership and the opportunities it brings to our customers and employees," stated Dennis Grogan. "GALLS' vision aligns perfectly with ours, and their commitment to maintaining our company's independent operations will enable us to continue focusing on our mission within the fire service industry."

Operational Scale and Broader Reach

This acquisition is set to significantly enhance GALLS®' operational scale, allowing for greater product offerings in the fire services sector. Customers can expect an expanded range of high-performance PPE and fire-related products, combined with GALLS®' renowned customer service. The integration will include improved access to specialized PPE services, ensuring that first responders can protect themselves as they serve their communities.

GALLS®' acquisition of Phoenix Safety Outfitters marks a pivotal moment in its strategy to support those who serve in public safety roles. By combining the resources and expertise of both businesses, GALLS® reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that every firefighter is prepared to respond safely and confidently to emergencies.
