This highly successful company designs and produces a full line of cargo and utility trailers. Both enclosed and open deck models are available for transporting anything from tools and equipment to automobiles and power sport “toys” such as snowmobiles, motorcycles, and ATV’s. These specialty trailers generally weigh less than 26,000 pounds (gross vehicle weight), are constructed of aluminum and/or steel, and can be towed as a bumper pull or by a gooseneck coupler.

Using the latest in CAD technology and rigorous functional testing methods, this company’s experienced staff of designers, graphic artists, production engineers, and shop personnel turn out the most reliable, high performance, and best looking trailers on the market. High-end options are standard features in this company’s broad, competitively priced product lines, along with creative “out-of-the-box” thinking and a strong customer service ethic.

The company sells to a supportive network of regional dealerships that has come to rely on its superb product quality, attention to detail, and quick turnaround on both standard and custom trailer designs By pursuing a variety of existing end-user niches and new product areas, the company always has something special and useful to offer its clients!

Whether they are transporting tools to a jobsite or power “toys” to a recreation spot, millions of American companies and individuals own a utility or cargo trailer of one type or another. Conservative estimates put the domestic market at more than $2 billion annually. This is a fast-growing industry with new customers and new applications emerging all the time. Importantly, due to rising fuel prices, many owners of large “cube” trucks are switching to cargo and utility trailers, which are more gas-efficient for a broad range of commercial and industrial uses.

Our acquisition candidate’s revenues have increased 5% during the current slow economy. This company offers an excellent opportunity for new management to take a strong, young competitor in a vibrant industry to new levels of visibility and profitability.
