Morgan Truck Body, LLC, Morgantown, Pa., expanded its manufacturing footprint in the Midwest.

The new facility in Orrville, Ohio, will be capable of producing a combination of 4,000 dry freight and refrigerated truck bodies annually, supporting both retail and fleet customers. Morgan expects to employ approximately 140 team members in the 210,000-square-foot production facility, which will also house office and warehouse space.  

“Morgan continues executing its aggressive growth strategy by launching innovative new products, penetrating new markets and pursuing key acquisitions. This has resulted in record revenues, thus allowing us to expand even further with new production facilities,” says Norb Markert, president and CEO.

By recruiting the most talented individuals, Morgan will continue delivering industry-leading quality products and services to our valued customers,” adds Wallace Davis, operations director for the Orrville plant.
