Effective August 2, Utilimaster Corporation raised prices on all Truck Body and Walk-in Van product lines.

“Escalating costs of raw materials – aluminum, steel, wood and petroleum based products - require price increases in our product lines ranging between 6% and 8%,” said Kevin Page, Utilimaster’s vice president of sales and marketing.

“It is with reluctance that we are raising prices, but to continue producing the best vehicles on the market, Utilimaster’s pricing must fairly reflect sharp increases in material costs.”
