Since it’s currently Red October in Philadelphia, we’d be remiss to not give a little history on our Fightin’ Phils. No one could have realized it at the time, but when the Phillies were formed in 1883, history was in the making. Now, in the 21st century, the Phillies are the oldest, continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in professional sports. Philadelphia is a true sports town. Steeped in tradition and home to the nation’s most passionate and loyal fans. South Philadelphia is also home to LaFrance’s beginnings. Like the Phillies, the never give up attitude of our founder, Joe Teti, is the foundation for our way of thinking and the reason LaFrance has remained successful for over 75 years.

We love technical challenges because they drive us to be better; we believe there is always room for improvement. We strive for excellence. Like our beloved baseball team, we never give up.
