Utilimaster has announced the opening of an additional vehicle production facility in Bristol, Ind., which will also support aftermarket parts and service and research and development. Less than three miles from Utilimaster’s headquarters in Bristol, the new 105,000-square-foot facility will accommodate production overflow from increased demand for commercial and fleet delivery and specialty service vehicles, according to the company.
To accelerate current production volume while the new facility is being equipped, Utilimaster’s flagship Bristol facility will begin second shift operations, adding about 200 jobs to accommodate increased demand. Jobs include full-time associates supported by a steady force of contract associates. Open positions include engineers, supervisors, team leads, warehouse staff, assemblers, and more.
“Expanding our footprint into our new 105,000-square-foot facility represents not only Utilimaster’s growth, but also our commitment to the Bristol community,” said Chad Heminover, president of Spartan Fleet Vehicles and Services. “We’re proud to be in a position to invest back into the business to secure our leadership position and help ensure future growth by leading first-to-last-mile delivery and specialty service innovation.”
