Ohio company announces investment in emergency vehicles

Horton Emergency Vehicles, a brand of REV Group Inc., and a leader in ambulance safety, is expanding its manufacturing footprint in Grove City, OH, with the $2.6M purchase of an adjacent building.

This new 20,000 square foot building will reportedly focus on final assembly and the delivery processes and is expected to reduce delivery times and enhance customer experience. In addition, the property will help open extra space in the current assembly operations and offers additional parking for employees and in-process ambulances. The Horton team expects to be operating in the facility in early 2026.

“We were delighted when a property adjacent to Horton’s assembly plant became available and REV Group was able to move quickly and allocate the capital expenditure,” said Mike Albers, vice president and general manager, Horton Emergency Vehicles. “This expansion allows us to provide additional space for our employees to manufacture and deliver our high-quality Horton ambulances to our dealers and customers quicker, which helps to protect their people and communities.”

Horton settled in Grove City, OH in 1994. With over 100,000 square feet, the facility has been designed specifically for manufacturing high quality, custom-designed emergency medical vehicles and is equipped with advanced engineering and computer-technology support for manufacturing as well as customer service.

Since 1968, Horton has manufactured emergency vehicles and currently designs and builds Type 1, Type 3 and Critical Care Transport units for fire departments and hospitals, serving a nationwide market. Horton is known for employing rigorous testing and an emphasis on safety, quality, and customization.
