Victory Truck Body builds additional facility to expand truck body manufacturing

Victory Truck Body, formerly Demountable Concepts, is building an additional 65,000-sq.-ft. facility in Glassboro, New Jersey, the site of their current 50,000-sq.-ft. facility. This addition more than doubles the company’s total manufacturing space to 115,000 sq. ft. for their dry freight van, curtain-side, flatbed, and refrigerated truck body production.

The facility will house a multi-truck-sized downdraft paint booth and overhead cranes to complement human and robotic welding capabilities, CNC laser cutting, and precision fabrication techniques used at the current facility, which is staffed by nearly 100 employees, including an in-house engineering team.

In addition, the new space lets Victory expand the production of products and services established during the Demountable Concepts years, including Swap Body and Warehouse on Wheels delivery truck solutions for straight trucks.

“We often experienced delays in receiving upfitted truck bodies for our Swap Body straight truck systems and had to find ways to bridge the gaps to meet critical deadlines,” Rustin Cassway, CEO of Victory Truck Bodies, said. “This and our 35-plus years of niche bodybuilding led us to bring the truck body portion of our operation in-house to better control production. It wasn’t long before customers and newcomers started requesting that we build bodies for their non-demountable trucks as well."

MyGlassTruck will continue to manufacture and supply glass carts and dollies, bolt-on glass racks, glass trucks, trailers, parts, and accessories. DCIFleet Service will take on the additional role of an in-house service department for Victory Truck Bodies while continuing to perform fleet repairs for customers throughout the Delaware Valley market.
