[edit]Almost none of this is correct. Beck was founded in 1932, not 1934. In 1953, Beck became a subcontractor to manufacture Ahrens-Fox fire engines, but they never owned the Ahrens-Fox company. Mack Trucks never acquired either Beck nor Ahrens-Fox, but in 1958, Mack did buy the Beck factory, building and shortly after, Mack separately purchased the production rights to one of Ahrens-Fox's fire engine designs, which they manufactured until 1969. In 1963, Mack sold the Beck factory to LeRoi, which as of 1995 was still manufacturing portable generator trailers in that facility.
