Industrial Truck Beds, the Indiana-based manufacturer of premium truck beds acquired by Hilltip in 2022, has officially rebranded as Hilltip Premium Truck Beds.
The change reflects the company's expanding truck bed offerings, as well as its alignment with the Hilltip portfolio of snowplows, spreaders, de-icing sprayers, sweepers, and other road maintenance equipment manufactured in the same Fort Wayne facility.
“We're proud to build on the strong legacy of Industrial Truck Beds and further strengthen our commitment to North American manufacturing,” said Craig Sandmann, managing director for Hilltip North America.
Hilltip Premium Truck Beds designs and manufactures hook-lift and interchangeable beds, as well as dump beds, flat beds, and custom-built or private-label solutions. These products are engineered to outlast the commercial chassis, while providing optimal load capacity, stability, and versatility.
“This new chapter reflects who we've become — a team dedicated to producing premium custom truck bed solutions that help people work smarter and more efficiently, Sandmann added. “Despite the name change, customers can expect us to continue delivering the quality and reliability they've expected from this line of truck beds since 1986.”
Headquartered in Pietarsaari, Finland, Hilltip is a leading manufacturer of road maintenance equipment in Europe. With equipment designed and built in an area that averages at least six months of snowfall every year, Hilltip is known for its extreme durability and advanced technologies.
Following the acquisition of Industrial Metal Products (Industrial Truck Beds) in 2022, Hilltip has a manufacturing, sales, and service location in Fort Wayne, Ind., to better cater to the North American market.
