History

• 1962- Transcraft was founded by William Cunningham who started the company to build trailers for trailer Manufacturers such as Strick & Clark-Brown.
• 1968- Mr. Cunningham began marketing a durable, heavy-duty flatbed trailer under the Transcraft trademark.
• Over the years, numerous product innovations were developed including the widely recognized "lightening holes" and the Transcraft "Superbeam".
• In the 90's Transcraft's marketing focus was on a niche owner-operator market which allowed the company to produce only three standard models with limited options, the most successful of which was the Eagle.
• 1995- The broad appeal of Transcraft's Eagle flatbed in the owner-operator market required the construction of a dedicated facility to producing that product line.
• 1999- William Cunningham sold Transcraft Corporation to Lincolnshire Management, Inc., a New York - based investment group, which provides growth capital to middle market companies.
• 2000- New growth initiatives were developed to increase Transcraft's existing 21% market-share through dealer expansion and fleet market penetration.
• In March of 2006, Transcraft Corporation was acquired by Wabash National.
• Today, Transcraft has approximately 150 dealer locations, 9 standard flatbed models, 3 standard drop-deck models and is the Nation's Leading Manufacturer of flatbed and drop-deck trailers.
