50 years of Braun Ambulances, the pride of Kim Braun
“As a third-generation family leader, it’s an honor to see Braun celebrate fifty years as a custom ambulance manufacturer.
We know that our success is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication from our loyal employees, dealer network, vendors, and customers,” shares Kim Braun, U.S. President.
“It is humbling to reflect upon our growth spanning five decades, knowing the challenges we faced and our unwavering commitment to safety and innovation for our customers.
Since merging with our partner brands, Demers Ambulances, Crestline Coach, and Medix Specialty Vehicles, we have only added to our bench strength in delivering the best custom ambulances in the industry. We are truly excited to see what the next fifty years hold for us.”
Charles C. Braun started the family business in 1961 as a pattern shop.
One can trace the history of emergency vehicles for patient transport back to 1487, but it was the early 1970s that ushered in the era of modern ambulances.
