Brinkley Asset Management announced a significant, strategic investment in Wright Industries, marking a major milestone in a growing relationship focused on innovation, operational excellence and long-term value creation in the specialty vehicle market.
The investment underscores Brinkley Asset Management’s strong confidence in Wright Industries’ leadership, vision and execution, as well as the broader opportunity ahead in ambulances, specialty vehicles and adjacent commercial segments, Brinkley Asset Management said in a release.
“We are extremely proud to invest in and partner with David Wright and the entire Wright Industries team,” said Ryan Thwaits, managing partner for Brinkley Asset Management. “David has 20-plus year track record for building world-class organizations built on discipline, culture and performance. That history, combined with his relentless focus on quality and efficiency, makes Wright Industries a natural partner as we look to support the next generation of American specialty vehicle manufacturing.”
Wright Industries, led by Forest River veteran David Wright, is quickly establishing itself as a dominant force poised to reshape the commercial vehicle sector, with a focus on ambulances, emergency response vehicles and highly engineered commercial platforms. The company’s emphasis on standardized design, speed-to-market and advanced manufacturing processes aligns closely with Brinkley’s own commitment to craftsmanship and long-term customer value.
“This investment from Ryan and his partners is a strong vote of confidence from an outstanding manufacturing partner,” said Wright. “The Brinkley team shares our belief that American manufacturing can — and should — lead the world through superior execution, smart capital allocation, and great people. The Brinkley team’s track record in the RV and marine space is impeccable and one we hope to emulate. I am honored that they would choose to invest in our Wright Industries and I couldn’t be prouder to welcome them as significant shareholders.”
Both organizations view the investment as a long-term collaboration, leveraging complementary expertise, shared values and a disciplined approach to growth. The investment will support Wright Industries’ continued expansion, product development and operational scaling across many specialty vehicle platforms.
