40 years ago, the world was a different place, but one thing that’s remained the same over four decades is Craftsmen Utility Trailer’s commitment and dedication to client satisfaction. Our company was founded in 1982 when Joe Helmsing purchased the Repair Division of Southwest Truck Body. He chose the company name Craftsmen in honor of the nine hard-working craftsmen who were employed by Southwest Truck Body.
oday, we’re proud to still honor the hard work and dedication of not only our employees but also the professionals who serve the trucking industry each and every day. We understand that taking on the responsibilities that come along with serving the trucking industry is no easy feat, and that’s why we’re proud to represent Utility Trailers. Our products are designed with the worker in mind because we know you can’t compromise on quality when it comes to your reputation on the road.
What We’ve Learned
Being in business for 40 years can teach you a thing or two, and we’ve learned a lot since 1982. First and foremost, we’ve learned that the key to success is dedication no matter the odds. We’ve been through it all, both ups and downs, but focusing on our customers has kept our leadership and our employees rock-solid in our dedication to quality products and service.
We’ve also learned that reinvesting in our communities and our industry is crucial in forming lasting relationships built on trust. That’s why we sponsor local events, partner with charities and ensure that we recognize the contributions of our workers. In fact, our company is known for holding huge retirement festivities for our long-serving employees upon retirement. Many professionals start and end their careers at Craftsmen Utility Trailer because we go out of our way to attract and retain top talent.
It’s the People
At the end of the day, it’s the people who make the difference. We stand behind our products, but we know that each of our trailers and accessories has hard-working individuals standing behind the design and manufacturing processes. We couldn’t have made it 40 years in this industry without the support of our loyal customers or our dedicated employees. From all of us to all of you, here’s to another 40 years!
