Talbert Manufacturing hosted a ribbon-cutting in May officially opening the 58,000-square-foot expansion of its Liberty, North Carolina, facility. The 120,000-square-foot Liberty Trailers LLC will manufacture Talbert’s Tag-A-Long Series, Traveling Axle Series, and Hydraulic Tail Series trailers. With the expansion, Talbert looks to increase dealer and customer support throughout North America with increased production capabilities and a support staff of 60 associates.
“In 1938, Austin Talbert set out to change the heavy-haul industry,” says Andrew Tanner, president of Talbert Manufacturing. “With the expansion of Liberty Trailers LLC, Talbert Manufacturing is closer than ever to realizing his vision of customer-driven design that meets the ever-changing needs of the hauling industry. We’re able to double our current output, allowing us to meet the needs of our Tag-A-Long customers and dealers across the U.S. and Canada so we can continue growing together.”
The opening of the expansion marks the completion of the Liberty Trailer LLC upgrade. In addition to the 58,000-square-foot increase in space, the expansion also houses two state-of-the-art painting booths, overhead cranes, and a large finishing area. For more, visit www.talbertmfg.com.
