Truck Accessories Group, doing business as Leer Group, recently celebrated the relaunch and nationwide expansion of US-based production of its Snugtop brand products. 

The celebration at Leer's Elkhart facility marks the full return of US-based production for Snugtop, which manufactures a lineup of more than 400 high-quality truck cap products for a growing number of leading automotive brands. Previously, Leer had announced it would be moving production from Mexico back to the U.S.

The production facility also enables Snugtop products to be available in all 50 states for the first time, while improving overall lead times, enhancing product quality, and strengthening customer service, the company stated in a press release. 

The production facility currently employs approximately 176 people. Leer has added 37 new team members and anticipates adding over 30 additional jobs during the next 60 days. 

“This facility represents a significant investment in our US-based manufacturing and will help us continue delivering world-class, Snugtop products to customers around the country,” said Alan Farash, president and chief operating officer of Leer Group. “It also enables us to take full advantage of the skilled workforce available here in Indiana, deepen our partnerships with dealers, and elevate the experience we provide to our customers.”

In addition to its skilled workforce, Leer's new Elkhart truck cap facility benefits from advanced manufacturing infrastructure and proximity to key markets, helping drive improved efficiency. The company said the facility is part of Leer's ongoing commitment to investing in the growth and innovation of its business while maintaining the highest standards for quality and customer satisfaction.
