Improving Safety in Emergency Vehicles with Horton Industries
Custom Seat Belt Harness System (HOPS)
Horton Emergency Vehicles, located in Grove City, Ohio, is known for building elite EMS vehicles with a strong focus on customization, innovation, quality, and safety — values that closely align with Casco’s own.
The Challenge
Horton approached Casco seeking a manufacturing partner that would honor their rigorous standards and collaborate thoughtfully throughout the development of their updated HOPS seat belt harness system.
Casco’s Solution
Our team:
- Identified the best‑suited fabrics based on durability, safety requirements, and performance
- Worked with Horton’s engineers to integrate custom silk‑screening
- Developed, refined, and produced the final harness system to meet their safety and usability expectations
Results
The outcome exceeded expectations — Horton was thrilled with the harness system’s performance, quality, and construction. The trust built during this process led Horton to partner with Casco for year‑over‑year production, strengthening a long‑term manufacturing relationship.
Even more exciting: Casco and Horton are now collaborating on the next‑generation HOPS harness, further pushing boundaries in emergency vehicle safety.
Horton uses the phrase, “You have a calling, we have an answer.”
We’re proud that Casco can echo this sentiment for all our customers by offering innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment with every project we take on.
