Meet the Business Owner: Fred K.
State Line Fire & Safety, Inc. was formed in May of 1970 by two brothers, Frederick D. Kendall and Richard C. Kendall. They rented an office at 4 Railroad Place in Montvale, NJ, purchased some vehicles for mobile service and a business was born. Within 3 years, they needed additional warehouse space for stock as well as an enclosed area for vehicle installations. A double garage with an upstairs loft was found on Perry Street in nearby Park Ridge. In 1978, the building at 50 Park Avenue in Park Ridge, NJ was purchased. With a full basement for service and installation areas and plenty of warehouse space, State Line Fire & Safety, Inc. quietly settled into its new home where it remains.
In 1980, Rich opted out of the partnership. Fred has continued to run State Line Fire & Safety, Inc. with great success. The next generation, Fred's three adult children, Marty, Chris and Jeanette, are invested in the company and are poised to take its success to a new level.
