Glimpse Into Greatness: The '90s was a decade of ambition. We united with Pines Trailers and became one of the largest trailer manufacturers in the world. In 1996, we opened our Terre Haute plant and began modernizing our branches, always moving forward, always great. #BeGreat #History #FleetOwner Click here to learn more about our history: https://lnkd.in/e3Sd_yuh

Our President’s journey from intern to leader embodies the heart of Great Dane: innovation, customer focus, and 124 years of listening and leading. Every detail. Every challenge. Every customer. That’s our strength—and our future. #BeGreat
I began my career as an engineering intern at Great Dane, eventually leading product designs for our trailers and truck bodies. Many people don’t realize this, but our engineering teams invent, develop, and incorporate features not found anywhere else in the industry. Now I have the privilege to serve as President of our company – one that’s remained strong for 124 years. So, how does a company remain an industry leader for more than a century? We believe it’s our commitment to provide the best solutions for our customers, including every detail for every product we build. But how do we know what our customers need, especially in today’s challenging market? We take the time to listen. We listen to our customers. And not just those that purchase from us, we take into consideration the drivers, maintenance teams, fleet managers, and others. Then we design and build solutions tailored to their unique challenges. Our legacy is built on relationships and trust. With every detail. And always with our customers in mind. I believe it’s why we’ve been tried and true for 124 years – and will continue to be - well into the next century.
