OCALA, Fla. — Firetruck manufacturer E-One lost nearly $25 million last year, documents from parent company Federal Signal Corp. show.
Fewer orders, lower production and high fixed costs led to the high losses for E-One, according to a Form 8-K that Federal Signal filed Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing shows E-One, which is for sale, as a discontinued operation — taking it out of the parent company’s ongoing financial results. The document also restates Federal Signal’s operating results for each quarter of last year.
