Wabash National Corporation announced Tuesday it has opened a new Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service location in Tampa, Fla. Supreme’s new Upfit Solutions and Service business is a convenient, one-stop shop for commercial vehicle upfitting, parts, and service for all makes of commercial truck and van bodies.

The company’s new location in Tampa is the third Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service center to open since 2018, adding to its other facilities in Griffin, Ga., and Cleburne, Texas.

“With the opening of our third Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service facility, we’re continuing to execute on our strategy to provide upfit solutions to all customers in the rapidly expanding final mile business segment,” says Mike Pettit, group president – Final Mile Products. “We have stock units and lift gates available at each of our service centers for rapid response to customers’ changing truck body needs, and we’re proud to partner with leading brands to provide a wide array of high-quality aftermarket accessories and upfit solutions.”

According to Wabash, Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service centers specialize in standard and custom upfit packages designed to meet the needs of customers’ unique business requirements. The company says upfit solutions include shelving for package delivery, trade-specific packages, partitions, roof racks, aluminum and steel flatbed bodies, hitches, thermal solutions, liftgates, telematics, backup camera systems, accessories and more.

“Our experts, together with industry-leading suppliers, do what it takes to make your vehicle work for you—and your bottom line,” Pettit adds.

Wabash says a large inventory of Supreme truck bodies are in stock for quick installation and upfit. In addition, all Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service centers have state-of-the-art cargo van insulated inserts available for all of the major OEMs through a partnership with Gruau, the company says.

Truck body service is available for dry, refrigerated, flatbed or service truck body customers, as well as rapid response pick-up and delivery within a 50-mile radius of a Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service center. Available services include basic maintenance for Class 4 and up, truck body collision repair, door repair and replacement, and truck body transfers and refurbishment, the company says.

In addition, service centers have direct-line access to dedicated component suppliers to ensure quality parts, including Supreme truck body repair parts, shelves and storage components, vocational upfit accessories, cargo containment accessories, material handling equipment and more. The company says Supreme Upfit Solutions and Service of Tampa will celebrate its grand opening with an open house on Sept. 18, 2019, for customers, dealers and community partners.
