"Bob" stunned the firefighting world by creating the world's first aluminum bodied fire trucks.
Everyone thought he was crazy, but many fire truck manufacturers got caught with their pants down. He became so popular that E-One became synonymous with Fire Trucks. Wormser had the advantage of being a welder as well as a metal fabricator. The fact that he held more than 70 patents demonstrated his inventive mind. He already had shown the world what he could do as a businessman with his commercial playground equipment firm in Hillsdale, Michigan during the 1960's.
