Utility Trailer Manufacturing says the facility is ideally located to service local customers and the new Utility refrigerated trailer factory in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, three miles down the road.
“This strategic location is an ideal setting to store new trailers and get them ready for pick-up,” says Steve Bennett, Vice President, Utility Trailer. “In the near future it will become a center for transportation, receiving and accounting management. It will also be the receiving point for customer furnished materials and other production materials.”
The company says the 51,000 sq.-ft. parts warehouse and 20-bay facility also is a full-service facility, offering new and used trailers, parts and service.
“We are proud to be building a facility that will optimize service for our local customers,” says Jonny Loring, Jr., president, Utility Trailer Sales Southeast Texas. “Our Eagle Pass dealership will also offer a host of services to other Utility dealers and customers, including Carrier installations, lift gates, decals, and tracking devices.”
“This new development is an ideal location for us,” he adds. “It’s proximity to the Mexican border enables us to better serve our growing customer base in the Texas market place. We’re also pleased that it will provide support for Utility Trailer Manufacturing’s plant operations in Piedras Negras.”
Directly adjacent to the facility, also on historic route 57, Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has a 130-acre parcel under development, for new trailer parking and warehouse operations, to support the new Utility factory just over the border in Piedras Negras, Mexico. The first phase of the parking facility is now open for new trailer pick-up, the company says.
The new Eagle Pass facility grand opening is set for April 10, 2019.
