MONROE, WI — Monroe Truck Equipment announces the completion and launch of their most recent expansion — a new, dedicated upfitting facility to support commercial work truck customers located in Monroe, Wisconsin.

This location was built to better serve local, regional, and fleet customers, while also supporting the newly dedicated commercial work truck division in conjunction with Monroe Truck Equipment’s rebrand earlier this year.

“We’ve taken a big step for our commercial customers. Our goal is to make it even easier for them to do business with us,” said Scott Hanewall, General Manager of the Commercial Division at Monroe Truck Equipment, Inc. “That’s why we’ve invested in this focused expansion, to ensure we have the space, time, and team capacity to meet and exceed our customers' expectations with new equipment and technology.”

Monroe Truck Equipment contracted several local construction and design companies to complete the new facility. The new location features two process line builds allowing for maximum upfit efficiency, an inline undercoat bay, a new cross-draft wet paint booth, and a custom overhead crane and rail system.

These upgrades will streamline production and provide space for the Monroe team to concentrate on innovation for commercial dealerships and end-user customers. Over 40 team members work in the new facility, and 15 jobs were created to support the growth of the company.

“Over the last several years we have built up our commercial operations to meet the growing demand in our commercial market,” said Jim Smith, Director of Sales for the Commercial Division at Monroe Truck Equipment, Inc. “A dedicated campus makes sense for our customers and our team. It’s just one way that we’re investing in our continued growth and delivering on our promise to make it easy to do business with us.”
