The purchase of Royal expands Spartan Motors' manufacturing operations into Southern California, Northern California, and additional West Coast markets, advancing its U.S. footprint strategy.
Spartan Motors, Inc., Charlotte, Mich., purchased Royal Truck Body, a Carson, Calif.-based designer, manufacturer and installer of service truck bodies and accessories. Royal joins Spartan's specialty chassis and vehicles (SCV) business unit, and will continue to go to market under the Royal Truck Body name.
"This is an exciting day for Spartan," says Daryl Adams, president and CEO of Spartan Motors. "Our acquisition of Royal Truck Body marks the continued execution of our strategic plan and delivers on the promise of nationwide expansion to the benefit of our customers, suppliers, team members and our shareholders."
