Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. has reached a milestone by producing the 50,000th dry van trailer at its Glade Spring, Va., manufacturing plant. The record setting trailer, a 4000D-X Composite dry van, was built for K-VA-T Food Stores Inc. (Food City’s parent company), a locally-owned company operating 106 retail supermarkets throughout the tri-state regions of southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee.
Utility currently operates five trailer manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The Clearfield, Utah, and Marion, Va., plants manufacture refrigerated trailers; dry vans are manufactured in Glade Spring, Va., and Paragould, Ark.; and a facility in Enterprise, Ala., builds flatbeds and Tautliners.
