Fia Inc. Showcases Dura-Tech Responder Seat Covers At 2026 Police Fleet Expo

WINNIPEG, MB: Fia Inc., a North American manufacturer of seat covers and vehicle accessories, recently attended the 2026 Police Fleet Expo in Orlando, Florida, where it showcased its new Dura-Tech Responder product line on August 12th and 13th.

 

The Police Fleet Expo brings together law enforcement fleet managers, procurement professionals, vehicle manufacturers, upfitters, and suppliers from across the United States. For Fia, the event provided an opportunity to introduce Dura-Tech Responder directly to the people responsible for selecting, maintaining, and outfitting police fleet vehicles.

 

Fia reported strong interest and engagement from attendees visiting its booth throughout the Expo. Conversations focused on a problem the Dura-Tech Responder line was specifically designed to address: The unusual level of wear police vehicle seats experience from utility belts, equipment, frequent entry and exit, and demanding day-to-day use.

 

Rather than adapting a conventional seat cover for police fleets, Fia designed the Dura-Tech Responder around those conditions. The covers use 100% 1000 Denier wear-resistant nylon, with a second layer reinforcing areas where utility belts commonly contact the seat. A durable water-repellent coating provides added protection from moisture and spills.

 

The full wrap-around design also protects the front and back of the seat and includes headrest protection on most applications. Fia's Super-Grip® fastening system is designed to provide a secure, tailored fit while allowing covers to be installed without permanently modifying the vehicle.

 

“The response we received at the Police Fleet Expo reinforced why we developed the Dura-Tech Responder in the first place,” said Greg Gorlick, General Manager at Fia Inc. “Fleet professionals know exactly where their seats wear out and what their vehicles go through every day. Being able to show them a product designed around those realities led to some great conversations and a lot of interest at the booth.”

 

The Police Fleet Expo appearance follows Fia's launch of the Dura-Tech Responder line earlier this year and represents another step in the company's growing focus on purpose-built solutions for law enforcement and emergency vehicle fleets.

 

For over 40 years, Fia Inc. has specialized in textile engineering and manufacturing for the automotive industry. A North American manufacturer, it develops custom-fit seat covers and vehicle accessories for consumer, commercial, and specialized fleet applications.
