US lawmakers push FTC to investigate fire truck manufacturer consolidation, arguing that decades of M&A have concentrated the market among three major players, driving prices up over 100% and delivery times to five years. Congress directs rare antitrust inquiry into roll-up strategies in the sector.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply components to fire truck manufacturers, you're now watching the largest antitrust probe into that supply chain in 90 years. The FTC will name the three majors as monopolies within a year, and Congress will likely force divestitures or price caps—which means your customer's margins just got political.
