STEALTH TRAILERS ADDING SECOND INDIANA PLANT LOCATION Stealth Trailers, a leading manufacturer of cargo trailers, announced the addition of a manufacturing facility in Marion, Indiana. This will be their second regional location in Indiana. The company headquarters and manufacturing has been located in Bristol, Indiana for the past 10 years and continues to operate at that complex.
The new facility is being opened to increase capacity and improve production lead-time in the Midwest. The factory will be a complete trailer manufacturing operation, including welding, assembly and final finishing.
The new Marion location plans to hire an additional 115 employees. Open positions include production supervisors, welders, office staff and general laborers.
Don Emahiser, president of Stealth Trailers said,“ We wanted to stay true to our Indiana roots, and Marion stood out as a region with a skilled workforce, and in need of quality employers.” They credit the State of Indiana for assisting in the process.“ A big thank you to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation( IEDC) for their tremendous support in helping us choose this location,” Emahiser added.
The company plans a nationwide expansion soon.“ Over the past decade, we’ ve been committed to product development and innovation through the smart use of materials. The Titan, Predator, Liberty and Raptor models have all been game changers in design, and other great models and plans are on the horizon. Our winning combination of good looks and user-friendly features at the right price has put Stealth on the map to stay,” Emahiser concluded.
