What began as a shared dream on a quiet patch of farmland in Brookston, Texas, has grown into one of the most compelling success stories in the trailer and equipment industry. In 2012, the Harms brothers joined forces, blending decades of hands-on experience and a shared entrepreneurial vision to build something extraordinary.
Then in 2015, Iron Bull Trailers burst onto the scene. With overbuilt strength, intelligent engineering, and a rugged, distinctive look, Iron Bull immediately captured the attention of dealers and end users alike. These were trailers built to work as hard as the people who bought them— and that philosophy resonated across North America.
A single facility and a bold idea— to build better truck beds and trailers— evolved into a multi-brand manufacturing powerhouse with over one million square feet of cutting-edge production capacity across multiple state-of-the-art facilities in the U. S. and Mexico.
The Norstar story is defined by grit, ambition, and an unwavering belief in doing things the right way. From day one, their vision was never just to compete— it was to lead. And today, that’ s exactly what they’ re doing.
From Ambition to Industry Leadership Norstar’ s first major milestone came with the launch of its truck bed division in 2012. The company quickly set itself apart through meticulous attention to detail, modern design techniques, and a manufacturing process built around strength and precision.
Over the next few years, Iron Bull became one of America’ s top five open trailer manufacturers, earning national recognition for innovation, rapid expansion, and customer trust. What takes competitors decades to achieve, Ironbull accomplished in record time through a relentless commitment to quality, dealer relationships, and smart growth strategies.
