The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry has named Timpte Inc. 2024 Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year. The award recognizes a Nebraska manufacturer that implements innovative ways to conduct business using products, processes, technologies, and other strategies.
Timpte was presented the award at the annual NE Chamber Manufacturing Summit.
“The Nebraska Chamber’s Manufacturer of the Year award celebrates a company that continuously betters its community and Nebraska’s overall economy, which is exactly what Timpte does,” said NE Chamber COO & EVP of Manufacturing Mike Johnson. “Timpte embodies what it means to be a Manufacturer in Nebraska, from its state-of-the-art facility to being a competitive and desired place to work. We’re thrilled to honor Timpte as this year’s Manufacturer of the Year.”
Timpte is located in David City and has been there since 1980, while the Timpte organization has been open since 1884.
“We’re a company founded on innovating transportation to help people move materials more efficiently and more effectively,” said Timpte President and CEO Tim Carpenter. “Headquartered in David City, we take our Midwestern roots seriously, applying solid manufacturing principles and state-of-the-art technology to produce the industry’s best dry bulk commodity trailers and equipment trailers.”
Timpte trailers are custom-built to ensure each trailer that hits the road does its job efficiently and effectively. While it is mostly known for its Super Hopper line of aluminum hopper trailers, Timpte entered the equipment trailer market in 2020 and has grown that product line from three models to over sixteen models.
Earlier in 2024, Timpte announced the construction of a second manufacturing facility that will house the production of equipment trailers and its Thunderstone Manufacturing LLC division. The new facility is scheduled to open in Q1 of 2025.
