the company to build trailers for trailer Manufacturers such as Strick & Clark-Brown.
- 1968- Mr. Cunningham began marketing a durable, heavy-duty flatbed trailer under the
Transcraft trademark.
- Over the years, numerous product innovations were developed including the widely
recognized "lightening holes" and the Transcraft "Superbeam".
- In 90's Transcraft's marketing focus was on a niche owner-operator market which
allowed the company to produce only three standard models with limited options, the
most successful of which was the Eagle.
- 1995- The broad appeal of Transcraft's Eagle flatbed in the owner-operator market
required the construction of a dedicated facility to producing that product line.
- 1999- William Cunningham sold Transcraft Corporation to Lincolnshire Management, Inc.,
a New York - based investment group, which provides growth capital to middle market companies.
- 2000- New growth initiatives were developed to increase Transcraft's existing 21%
market-share through dealer expansion and fleet market penetration.
- In March of 2006, Transcraft Corporation was acquired by Wabash National.
- Today, Transcraft has approximately 150 dealer locations, 9 standard flatbed models,
3 standard drop-deck models and is the Nation's Leading Manufacturer of flatbed and drop-deck
trailers.
