Ever since the invention of the fire pump, firefighters have been plagued with the difficulty of obtaining correct nozzle pressures for nozzles. Based on a simple and reliable design, Task Force Tip nozzles solve this dilemma by constantly adjusting to the varying pressures of the hoseline. First developed by Clyde McMillan, the Company is still managed with the personal touch of the McMillan family. Over the years, many additional products have evolved to make firefighting more effective and safer for firefighters around the world.
As a result, the company which first started in the family basement has grown many times to meet the expanding market demands. A constant interest in staying on the leading edge of technology, the in-depth use of computerization at all levels, and strong desire for continuing innovative research and development, has made Task Force Tips one of the leading companies in the fire industry.
Task Force Tips' recent move to 3701 Innovation Way in Valparaiso Indiana marks the eighth time the company has moved or expanded in its nearly four decades of business. The new TFT world headquarters boasts a total area of 168,000 square feet, and employs some 180 workers. The brainchild and dream of founder Clyde McMillan, TFT has championed the manufacturing and distribution of fire fighting nozzles and equipment since 1971. Its sales force spans the globe, representing the Midwestern business in more than 30 countries.
