US-based trailer builder, Wabash, is opening its seventh parts and services facility next month.
This strategic expansion includes the launch of a new Ready-to-Mount program which delivers pre-built dry freight and platform bodies within weeks.
Wabash said this rapid deployment helps customers of all sizes meet operational demands faster and more efficiently.
The new facility will be dedicated to truck body upfitting, expanding its coast-to-coast footprint. It will offer customisable solutions including shelving, telematics and trade-specific packages with some completed in 10 days or less.
“As demand for upfit and ready-to-mount solutions grows, Wabash is leading the way with a national network that brings faster turnaround times and industry expertise directly to our customers,” Wabash Vice President – Recurring Revenue, Dave Hill.
“It’s the combination of our 40 years of innovation leadership, our expanding parts and services locations and our extensive connected dealer network that makes Wabash the partner of choice.
“Together, we’re providing unmatched access to the services fleet owners need to stay competitive.
“In 2024, Wabash upfitted more than 1,100 truck bodies through our parts and services network—helping customers access the equipment they need faster and with greater flexibility than traditional OEM sales. The addition of our Gary facility strengthens this network, enhancing accessibility in key markets.”
These network expansions also strengthen Wabash’s partnerships with dealers across the country, enabling them to better serve customers with reduced lead-times and tailored, efficient solutions.
“As a dealer, Wabash’s expanded services help us deliver a more comprehensive experience for our customers,” said Stephen Rybacki, Vice President of medium duty truck sales at Bergey’s Truck Centers. “We continue to see demand from fleet owners for upfit and ready-to-mount services that can help them get the trucks they need as quickly as possible. From ready-to-mount solutions to aftermarket parts and service support, Wabash’s growing network and portfolio of solutions allow us to better customise offerings to meet each customer’s unique needs.”
Wabash will showcase these expanded service capabilities alongside its latest transportation innovations at Work Truck Week 2025 (booth #4933) in Indianapolis March 4-7 2025.
