Wabash Inks Multi-Year Agreement with Rockland Flooring as New Trailer Facility Ramps Production
September 18 2023 - 4:25PM
Wabash (NYSE: WNC), the visionary leader of connected solutions for
the transportation, logistics and distribution industries, today
announced a multi-year agreement with Rockland Flooring for
laminated wood trailer flooring.
“We’re pleased to expand on our long-standing
relationship with Rockland Flooring by executing our first
long-term agreement for wood flooring for dry van trailers,” said
Richard Mansilla, vice president of global procurement at Wabash.
“As our new dry van trailer manufacturing facility reaches full
capacity in 2024, poised to yield an additional 10,000 units
annually, this agreement will allow us to secure wood flooring
above what we can produce out of Wabash’s wood flooring production
facility in Harrison, Arkansas.”
Rockland Flooring has been a Wabash supplier for 15 years and is
a five-time Wabash supplier award winner. This mutually beneficial
agreement is designed to generate long-term value by optimizing the
supply footprint and collaborating on innovation and continuous
improvement. With five plants in the United States and Canada,
Rockland Flooring’s domestic location helps ensure supply of wood
flooring, which is a historically constrained material in the
trailer industry.
“Having worked together for many years, we are pleased to
formalize our working relationship through this long-term agreement
with Wabash,” said Chris Wolford, chief sales officer of Rockland
Flooring. “This agreement is an important step in aligning our
companies to better serve the future needs of our mutual customers
in the transportation industry.”
This new long-term agreement with Rockland Flooring follows
similar announcements with J.B. Hunt, Ryerson and Hydro, which
serve as examples of how Wabash is strategically positioning to
meet customers’ needs with long-term demand planning.
