Fike – Explosion, Fire and Pressure solutions

Les Fike Jr. lived out his childhood dreams of sailing around the world (three times in fact), as his brother-in-law, Gary Batz, continued the Fike tradition as president and CEO in the late 1980s and 1990s. Years later, Sally (Les Jr.’s sister) and Gary’s son Brad would be voted in as Fike’s new president and CEO in 2015.

Brad’s primary objective is to continue his grandfather’s legacy, just as Brad’s uncle, mother and father, and countless other employees, did before him. The legacy always has and always will begin with keeping people safe.

“It all starts with the Fike Story,” Brad said. “We are proud of our history and want to embrace it. We have the awesome opportunity and capability to develop and deliver a valuable product. When our products are needed, they work and allow people to return home to their families.

“We want to continue to build on our story that we believe is special in this world because as a company we care about more than just profit; it’s also about the employees and the effect we have on their lives, the communities in which we live, and the people whom we help protect.”
