Doonan Specialized Trailer has announced that it has “gutted” a 25,000 sq.-ft. manufacturing plant, previously used to “stall build” custom trailer products, to create a new, high-efficiency flatbed trailer plant.

Doonan will still build custom trailer products in its main factory, separate from its new high-efficiency flatbed trailer plant. The new plant will allow Doonan to be more price competitive in the volume build flatbed trailer market, the company said.

“We look forward to the many new market opportunities this new plant brings Doonan,” said Doonan Co-Manager Mike Gordy. Construction on the plant began early this summer, with high-efficiency flatbed trailer production slated to begin in January.
