OUR BADGE IS A SYMBOL OF RESPONSIBILITY.
A firefighter has a fire inside. It’s something that cannot be taught or learned. It’s a motivation that comes from within. A sense of duty to protect their community and the lives and property of the people who live there, fueled by their own internal code. Mercedes Textiles honors these individuals. We create products that not only live up to their standards but go beyond. For more than 40 years we’ve offered a full line of hoses, pumps, couplings and accessories all with one unrelenting goal - keep people safe. As we move forward with our legacy we do so with the knowledge that what we make must never be anything other than the best. Running toward danger requires a strength few possess and we’re honored these brave men and women trust Mercedes Textiles to answer the call.
In 1967, SERVPRO began as a painting business owned by Ted and Doris Isaacson in Sacramento, California. Within a short time, they leveraged their background in cleaning and restoration to grow their company by offering franchises in the cleanup and restoration industry.
They sold their first franchise in 1969, and SERVPRO grew steadily. Ten years later, they were able to acquire the Bristol-Myers Domesticare Division and its 175 franchises.
By 1988, the Isaacsons had built SERVPRO into a thriving company with 647 locations. They decided it was time for further expansion and relocated the company from Sacramento to Gallatin, Tennessee. This strategic move put SERVPRO in a more centrally located area within 600 miles of 50 percent of the U.S. population. It wasn’t long before SERVPRO proved itself to be a major asset to its new community, and it was named the “Small Business of the Year” by the Nashville Business Journal in 1991.

Bronze Supporters!
Founded in 2010, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is a national non-profit founded and headquartered in Rogers, Arkansas, that provides charitable services benefiting the overall well-being of our nation’s “Sheep Dogs” (Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, and EMS personnel) through Get Off The Couch™ programming. SDIA exists to engage, assist and empower our nation’s heroes through Outdoor Adventures (physical activity), Warrior PATHH training (mental wellness) and Continued Service/Disaster Response (volunteerism) programs.
Our nation’s heroes have an innate desire to serve, and their service gives meaning and purpose to their lives. After an injury or shift/tour of duty ends, that meaning and purpose is often lost. Post-traumatic stress, injuries, depression, addiction, and isolation plague our Sheep Dogs to the point of thinking about and/or attempting suicide. Through our Get Off The Couch™ programming, Sheep Dogs who have suffered similar traumas & experiences gather together for camaraderie and opportunities to continue serving, which helps prevent suicides in our Veteran and First Responder communities.
