At FZ, we exist to have a positive impact on people’s lives—our employees, the community and our customers.

You’ll hear other companies talk about building healthy, two-way partnerships from the start. In our case, we mean it. In an industry where adversity among key players is common, candid conversation is the disruptor. Communication is the difference between a project running smoothly, and one pain point after another at a high price to budget and the integrity of the relationships we value.

We’re different. We start the conversation, and we keep it going. Instead of pointing fingers when challenges arise, we get at the root of conflict with an open door and an invitation to sit at the table.

We’re able to leverage technology by pre-planning. Our VDC approach allows us to detect and solve for issues early in the virtual world, so we’re not reacting to costly jobsite issues in the real world.

President
Curtis Engine & Equipment Co., Inc.
Baltimore, Maryland

When customers of Curtis Engine are out of power, they are out of business. Our business is all about reliability. Founded in 1944 and observing our 75th anniversary this year, Curtis Engine provides power generation equipment sales and service for healthcare facilities, data centers, educational institutions, government agencies and other mission-critical facilities that require 24/7 power availability.

The one thing we want customers to say about our company is: “We can always depend on them.”

Curtis Engine takes a project from A to Z, meaning we start with engineering, quote the project accurately, deliver the equipment on time and ensure the unit is installed correctly. Once the unit is up and running, we provide continuing round-the-clock maintenance.

The bottom line is that we are always there for the customer. That’s what reliability is all about.
