Thiele Announces New Manufacturing Line

Thiele Manufacturing, located in Windber, Pa, announced the addition of new production lines to its 220,000 square foot manufacturing facility.

Thiele was recently awarded a contract through Mack Trucks, Inc. to build approximately 200 dump truck bodies in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2007 for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Thiele will install the bodies, plows, spreaders and hydraulics on Mack chassis at its Windber, PA facility and the completed vehicles will be delivered to depots throughout the state. Thiele’s new lines will support all aspects of the Penndot/PA Turnpike work. In addition, Thiele is in the process of hiring 30-40 new employees in various capacities to facilitate the additional work.

Company President Joe Romano feels that this investment of infrastructure will only allow Thiele to better support customer needs. “Because of our sales growth over the past year, we feel that it’s in the best interest of all of our customers to separate Penndot/Turnpike work from current production. We’re fortunate in that we have a large facility that can easily handle all of our manufacturing requirements. Thiele has a strong reputation in the industry, and delineating the work will better allow us to meet customer needs from a quality and timeliness standpoint.”

Thiele has been a leading manufacturer of CUSTOM truck bodies since its inception. It has long been recognized for its exceptional quality and for over 100 years has set the standard for others to follow. Thiele can design and manufacture bodies from the smallest units to the largest off-the-road type for single axle, tandem axle and trailer units.

Thiele Awarded State Contract

Thiele Manufacturing was awarded a contract through Mack Trucks, Inc. to build approximately 200 dump truck bodies in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2007 for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Thiele will install the bodies, plows, spreaders and hydraulics on Mack chassis at its Windber, PA facility and the completed vehicles will be delivered to depots throughout the state.

Thiele President, Joe Romano, couldn't be happier to bring this work into his 220,000 square foot manufacturing plant. "I've always felt that the quality of our truck bodies matches up with anyone, and working with Mack Trucks, Inc. to put such a great volume of trucks on Pennsylvania roads in '07 will only further establish Thiele as an industry leader. We've had strong sales growth over the past year, so we're well-positioned to handle this contract."

Thiele currently employs approximately 75-80 people, however, this is expected to grow significantly with the additional work. Thiele products have been on the road for over 100 years.
