McNeilus increases focus on refuse collection vehicle sales and support

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Inc., an Oshkosh Corp. company, recently announced that it is dedicating its Dodge Center, Minnesota, headquarters to refuse collection vehicle manufacturing and technology development. According to the company, this focus will boost its capacity to build products and provide services for the refuse industry. The production of McNeilus concrete mixers in Dodge Center is being consolidated and moved to other Oshkosh manufacturing facilities in London, Ontario, and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Concurrently, McNeilus is combining its factory-direct sales and support for trucks, parts and services into one aligned team to improve its customer support.

“This increased focus unlocks much-needed capacity for growth and opens the door for many of the opportunities and advancements we’ve been working on,” Jeff Koga, vice president and general manager for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing’s Refuse Collection Vehicles segment, says. “And with the only direct-from-manufacturer team in the business, we offer sales and support that’s laser-focused on the needs of the refuse industry.”

Along with focusing on elevating production capabilities and customer experience, the investments McNeilus is making in refuse collection vehicles can be seen in some newly completed projects. McNeilus recently opened a 135,000-square-foot warehouse to streamline the supply chain for parts critical to the production of its refuse collection vehicles. The company also constructed new manufacturing, training and office space at its Minnesota campus dedicated to innovation and customer support. In the coming months, McNeilus will break ground on a new facility that will provide customers with a collaborative quality experience, the company says.

“These recent announcements highlight our investment in the future and in continuing to strengthen our industry leadership. Our commitment to our customers is unwavering, and our aligned strategy to optimize our business demonstrates our mission to exceed their expectations,” Brad Nelson, president of McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing and senior vice president of Oshkosh Corp.’s Commercial Segment, says.
