“ DESIGNED TO TACKLE THE TOUGHEST JOBS ”

Recognizing market trends is a critical part of business , especially when it ’ s a startup . Having done their assessment , a group of ambitious young leaders in the trailer industry addressed the supply chain in 2021 . They realized there was going to be a massive shortfall in fundamental products to complete the trailer manufacturing process . They began to position themselves to become a major source of procurement , thus , Apex Trailer Parts was born . The only thing they didn ’ t recognize was that the original name they selected for the company was also being used by trailer manufacturers and other suppliers . It became obvious that the name would have to change to clear up the confusion . In 2024 , moving onto greater heights with a new name , Bostail . Starting with axles and fenders they began to build up their manufacturing capacity with the latest hightech robotic and programmable machinery . Including building custom machinery in-house to achieve the desired result . The R & D department at Bostail is focused on the innovation of new products and has patented an auto-latch coupler and is constantly looking for ways to design old products in a new way .

It turns out their assessment was correct . Between 2022 and 2023 , Bostail grew substantially and experienced another 100 % growth from 2023 through 2024 . They also added 80 employees while continuing to add capacity . Currently , they manufacture or supply over 30 products including tarp kits , couplers , and suspension components , just to name a few .
