The history of Havis-Shields Equipment Corporation is a story marked by innovation, quality products, and an understanding of customer needs.

Havis-Shields was founded in Philadelphia, PA in 1928 by Dan Havis and Jim Shields as a supplier and service provider of heavy-duty automotive electrical equipment. Through the decades Havis-Shields has distributed and installed emergency vehicle products and in the 1980’s successfully branched into manufacturing.

Havis-Shields introduced its first manufactured product in 1978, the Kwik Raze® telescoping light product line for the fire apparatus market. In 1986 Havis-Shields purchased Collins Dynamics®, a leader in 12-volt spotlight technology to broaden its lighting product line. In 1991, HSEC Caribe was opened as a subsidiary facility in Bayamon, Puerto Rico distributing and installing emergency equipment and providing specialty, training services to both Puerto Rican and U.S. Government agencies (www.hseccaribe.com). Also manufactured by Havis-Shields, the Consolidator® product line of in-vehicle consoles and computer mounts, was successfully launched in 1993.

With the success of the Consolidator®, Havis-Shields greatly expanded its in-house metal fabricating capabilities and now produces K-9 transports, motorcycle lighting systems, and prisoner transport solutions and other vehicle accessories. Product line brand names include Kwik-Raze®, Collins Dynamics®, Consolidator®, Questar®, Magnafire 3000®, and Kwik-Kit®to name a few. All products are proudly made in U.S.A.
