SNYDER, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska company that specializes in making fire trucks is being sold to a publicly traded Michigan company for $36.3 million.

It’s not immediately clear how the deal announced Tuesday will affect Smeal Fire Apparatus’ 400 employees in Nebraska, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Spartan Motors of Charlotte, Michigan, says the deal is set to close in January.

Smeal currently buys about $30 million worth of structural framework from Spartan.

Spartan marketing director Samara Hamilton says the Michigan company would determine what would happen to Smeal’s manufacturing locations and employees.

About 230 people work at the Smeal’s headquarters in Snyder. Smeal also has operations in Neligh.
