From the show floor at Work Truck Week 2026, Adrian unveiled an expanded lineup of pickup truck cargo solutions aimed at contractors and fleets looking to upfit pickups without stepping up to a larger service vehicle. The company also announced a leadership transition, naming longtime executive Marc Jackson as chief executive officer.

Adrian, known for cargo management solutions for commercial vans and pickup trucks, displayed the new pickup products in its booth (#4905) during the March 10–13 event.

New Pickup Truck Cargo Solutions Target Grab And Go Storage

Adrian’s first launch, the Open Bed Service Truck system, is designed to meet or exceed the storage capacity of a standard 8-foot service body while keeping tools and gear within arm’s reach. Adrian described the system as fully modular and customizable to specific trade needs, with availability tied to the company’s five-day lead time.

The second launch, the Roll-Up Door, is positioned as an option for job sites and work zones where traditional barn doors can be difficult or unsafe to use because they won’t fully open in tight spaces. Adrian said the roll-up configuration improves water protection and security compared with traditional options and rounds out its cap lineup alongside hatch-door and barn-door configurations.

“These new solutions solidify our position as a one-stop shop for pickup upfitting, allowing skilled tradespeople to customize their pickup trucks without stepping up to a larger service vehicle,” said Mike Filipiak, Adrian’s director of engineering. “The pickup upfit market is roughly twice the size of the van market, so this represents a significant opportunity for Adrian to delight more customers.”

Marc Jackson Succeeds Don DeLong As CEO

Adrian also announced that Marc Jackson has been appointed president and CEO, succeeding Don DeLong. Jackson previously served as chief operating officer and has been with the company for more than 30 years, including roles as vice president of operations and general manager of Adrian’s Kansas City facility.

“Over the next five years, we'll focus on several initiatives to elevate the customer experience and position Adrian for long-term success, including scaling our production capacity and modernizing our company,” Jackson said. “I’m excited to follow in Don’s footsteps and lead Adrian into its next chapter of growth.”

Expansion Plans Include Facility Growth In Michigan And Kansas City

Adrian said the company is moving forward with what it described as its largest expansion to date, nearly doubling its Adrian, Michigan, production facility to 245,000 square feet and doubling warehouse capacity to 87,000 square feet. 

The company also plans to double the size of its Kansas City installation facility to 60,000 square feet. Adrian said the combined investments are intended to increase capacity while maintaining speed, quality, and reliability for customers.
