Marmon Highway Technologies is the new name for privately held conglomerate that owns a wide range of truck- and trailer-related companies.

The new name reflects a new approach to the market, one designed to begin raising awareness of the single ownership and marketing muscle of this group of companies that are well known individually.

  • Detroit Steel Products Company (air suspensions)

  • Fontaine Fleetline Products (truck and trailer accessories)

  • Fontaine International (fifthwheels)

  • Fontaine Modification Company (truck modification centers)
