Following on the heels of last year’s move to a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, Southwest Products recently announced the addition of a national truck equipment manager in Denver. And in response to growth in vocational truck body sales, SWP is also in the process of hiring territory managers in the eastern United States and Texas.

The expansion is part of SWP’s five-year plan to fill capacity at its new 175,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. One of the largest areas of growth for the organization has been its customized lube trucks, with production nearly doubling during the past two years. The expansion also includes the opening of a new truck sales and service location in southwestern Washington. SWP is a newly named Diamond Distributor for IMT in the Pacific Northwest and will offer IMT service, crane and mechanic trucks throughout the region.

“We are no longer just a regional manufacturer focused largely on Arizona and Southern California,” says Shane McDermott, vice president of SWP’s vehicle division. “With production continuing to show such strong growth, our focus now also includes building our team and expanding our presence in several national markets.”

With additional opportunities for expansion, SWP is focused on being well-positioned to serve its larger clients such as Caterpillar dealers and Kiewit, as well as hundreds of small to midsized construction companies.
