🔥 Behind the Tech That Protects Our Heroes 🔥 BAMA had the incredible opportunity to tour Kortek Solutions today, and what an eye-opening experience it was! From cutting-edge sensor technology to groundbreaking thermal imaging solutions, we witnessed firsthand how Kortek is helping protect the health and safety of our first responders, especially firefighters across the country. Their commitment to innovation and service is more than impressive; it’s inspiring. 🙏 A huge thank you to the Kortek team for your hospitality, in-depth insights, and for sharing the powerful story behind your mission. Your journey, your growth, and your vision for the future left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. 👏 To all the BAMA members who joined us, we love seeing our community come together to learn, connect, and explore the innovation happening right here in our region. We’re already looking forward to the next tour. Until then, let’s keep building, learning, and moving manufacturing forward. #BAMATours #ManufacturingInnovation #Kortek #FirstResponderTech #TampaBayManufacturing #BAMAConnects
