Great Dane has launched truck body production at the Great Dane manufacturing facility in Danville, Pennsylvania, billed as “a pivotal moment” in the company’s strategic growth plan and “long-term vision” for expanding its truck body production.
“These first truck bodies coming off the line in Danville mark a significant milestone in Great Dane’s ongoing growth, demonstrating our commitment to meeting the rising demand for high-quality truck bodies,” said Rob Ulsh, vice president of dealer and international sales for Great Dane. “It also builds upon our existing strong relationships within the truck body industry, where fleets that require durable truck bodies trust our people and our products.”
Great Dane’s truck body expansion aligns with the company’s broader vision to enhance operational efficiency, increase regional market presence, and solidify its reputation for quality and innovation in the truck body sector, according to one of the leading U.S. highway trailer manufacturers.
“We’re thrilled to see the expansion of our truck body offering in Danville,” said Mayo Rude, Great Dane’s truck body director. “This is an important step in our long-term vision, and we’re excited to bring our products and services to more customers in this region.”
Over the years, Great Dane Danville has won multiple awards from the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) for plant safety. The workforce in Danville ensures the company can scale operations to meet the increasing demand for truck bodies across a range of industries, Great Dane noted.
“Our teams are second to none, and I’m proud of this new milestone, fostered by strong customer relationships and a commitment to excellence. Our truck bodies are built with Great Dane’s proven trailer technology and customizations, offering the safety, efficiency, and high quality that our customers need and deserve,” said Rick Mullininx, president and COO of Great Dane.
