Business Description

Supreme Industries, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation and it was originally incorporated in 1979. The Company is a manufacturer of specialized vehicles including truck bodies, buses, and armored and specialty vehicles. The Company has two operating segments: specialized vehicles and fiberglass products. The Company's core products include cutaway and dry-freight van bodies, refrigerated units, stake bodies, and other specialized vehicles including shuttle buses. The Company's Signature Van bodies range from 10 to 28 feet in length with pre-painted aluminum or FRP panels, molded composite front and side corners, LED marker lights, sealed wiring harnesses, hardwood or pine flooring, and various door configurations to accommodate end-user loading and unloading requirements. It has also applied its truck body competencies in developing multiple sizes of storage containers for companies in the expanding market of portable storage containers, which provide warehouse storage of household goods. It has partnered with General Motors (GM) to develop the molded fiberglass Astro Body. The Company's armored trucks are built to customer specifications in aluminum, galvaneal, or stainless steel. The Supreme Specialty Vehicles (SSV) product line specializes in meeting the transportation needs of emergency response and homeland security personnel. Sample products include SWAT rapid deployment vehicles, prisoner transport, mobile command centers, and mobile medical units. Supreme's StarTrans shuttle buses (Senator and Candidate) have seating capacities for 12 to 29 people and are offered with a variety of seating arrangements and with options such as wheelchair lifts, custom interiors, and special exterior paint schemes. Supreme's StarTrans(r) mid-size buses (President and Ambassador) are offered in lengths of up to 31 feet with capacities of up to 35 passengers. Supreme's StarTrans trolley line is similar in size to the mid-size bus line but resembles a San Francisco trolley car. Kold King, Iner-City, Spartan, StarTrans, TourLiner, and Fuel Shark are tradenames used by Supreme in its marketing of truck bodies and buses. Kold King, Iner-City, StarTrans, FiberPanel and TourLiner are trademarks registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company normally sells the vehicle and/or equipment that have been installed on the chassis to commercial dealers, distributors, fleet leasing companies, or directly to end-users. The highly competitive nature of the specialized vehicle industry presents a number of challenges. With only a few national competitors, the Company often competes with smaller, regional companies. The Company's operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental and health and safety statutes and regulations, including those related to emissions to the air, discharges to the water, treatment, storage, and disposal of water, and remediation of contaminated sites.
