SUMNER, TX — November 4, 2024 — Load Trail and Cross Trailers have announced the joint acquisition of Stealth Trailers, an established name in the enclosed trailer market. The move brings together the expertise of three trailer manufacturers and expands the product offerings of both companies, strengthening a shared commitment to building versatile, reliable trailers for customers across North America.
Why the Stealth Trailers Acquisition Made Sense
Stealth Trailers earned its reputation with innovative designs in the enclosed trailer segment. That track record made it a natural fit next to the existing Load Trail and Cross Trailers lineups. Load Trail builds open steel trailers in Texas, Cross builds enclosed cargo trailers in Indiana, and Stealth brings its own enclosed lineup and loyal customer base to the group.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Stealth Trailers into the family. This acquisition allows us to offer even more value to our customers, with a broader range of products that meet the diverse needs of the trailer market.”
— Jake Thiessen, CEO, Load Trail
Carrying the Stealth Legacy Forward
For Stealth’s former owner, the partnership is about putting the brand in hands that build trailers the same way.
“This partnership brings together companies that value quality and innovation as much as we do at Stealth. I’m confident that with Load Trail and Cross Trailers, Stealth’s legacy of excellence will continue to grow, bringing even more cutting-edge solutions to our loyal customers.”
— Kelly Rose, Former Owner, Stealth Trailers
What It Means for Dealers and Customers
The acquisition reflects a goal Load Trail and Cross Trailers share: to be the preferred choice for trailer solutions across multiple categories. Adding Stealth lets both companies build out their product portfolios and give dealers and end users more variety to choose from, all sold through the independent dealer network both companies stand behind.
It’s the latest step in a growth plan that also includes Cross Trailers’ new manufacturing facility in Iowa, which adds production capacity and shortens delivery times for dealers across the Midwest. The acquisition was also covered by the National Association of Trailer Dealers and Accessories (NATDA).
