Massachusetts-based Apollo Safety, Inc., a veteran-owned company providing gas detection products and services for hospitals, universities, government operations, public utilities, manufacturing, Biotech and other organizations, is celebrating their 25th year in business.
Apollo Safety has become a leading gas detection, safety and technical services equipment provider in New England. The company was founded in 1995 by John V. Carvalho III, a U.S. Army veteran, and is headquartered in Fall River, MA with a second office in Boston. In addition to state-of-the-art gas detection service and equipment, the company’s comprehensive product line has expanded over the years to include safety equipment for job sites, protective workwear and PPE, and most recently sanitizing and disinfecting products.
“We’re proud of being in the vanguard of the industry’s changes over the years,” said Carvalho, founder and president of Apollo Safety. “We’ve dedicated ourselves to staying ahead of the curve and providing the best options to clients.”
In recognition of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) National Veterans Small Business Week, November 2-6, 2020, Apollo Safety, the Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Veteran-Owned Businesses Enterprise (VBE), celebrates their silver anniversary and announces a pledge to interview and/or hire at least two U.S. military veterans by the end of 2020.
Opportunities for Veterans
Apollo Safety is dedicated to getting veterans back to work and gives high priority to hiring veterans. The company recruits through veteran community organizations.
“Military veterans have valuable, transferable skills from years of training, which makes them ideal candidates in nearly all fields of business,” explained Carvalho. “At Apollo Safety, we believe in supporting our veterans who valiantly fought for our freedom by providing essential re-entry opportunities, as well as guidance and candid feedback along the way.”
Apollo Safety is currently hiring Service Technicians in the Boston and Providence, Rhode Island areas. To apply for a position, interested parties should send a resume and list of professional and person references to John V.
