Owl Vans, an adventure van accessory company, announced its official partnership with Mercedes-Benz. This exclusive collaboration highlights Owl Vans’ commitment to excellence in manufacturing and innovation, positioning the company as a frontrunner in the rapidly growing sector, Owl Vans said in a release Monday.
“As the adventure van market continues to disrupt the RV industry, Mercedes-Benz sought to collaborate with the best in the business,” said John Willenborg, founder of Owl Vans. “For a small company like ours, becoming an official partner with a global icon like Mercedes-Benz is mind-blowing. It’s proof positive that our hard work and dedication to quality meet the standards of even the most discerning engineers in the world.”
The partnership was forged after rigorous testing and evaluation by Mercedes-Benz engineers, who assessed leading brands in the adventure van space for quality, fit and aesthetic appeal. Owl Vans emerged as the preferred partner, highlighting the company’s product offerings and commitment to excellence.
Owl Vans’ manufacturing process is defined by attention to detail and a relentless pursuit of quality, the company said. All products are crafted in-house in the USA, using domestically sourced aluminum alloys to ensure high standards.
“We focus on providing the most reliable, over-engineered parts in the market,” said Willenborg. “While the costs of US manufacturing are significantly higher, we believe in delivering the best rather than the cheapest. This approach has earned us over 500 five-star reviews and a stellar 4.9 rating.”
The company said it leverages millions of dollars in advanced machinery to design, prototype, laser cut, mill, bend, weld and quality control thousands of parts and accessories each year. This investment in technology is designed to ensure that products meet the highest standards of reliability and consistency.
Owl Vans has grown from a garage startup to a leading accessory manufacturer in the adventure van industry, demonstrating innovation and leadership. Despite economic challenges, the company said it has a 90% market share and a 4.9 Google rating. Owl Vans is also an OEM partner with Storyteller, Airstream and Winnebago.
“We’ve grown from our humble beginnings to a company projected to break the $100 million annual revenue mark within five years,” said Willenborg. “With six locations and plans to expand to ten worldwide, we are poised to continue our upward trajectory.”
“Owl Vans’ partnership with Mercedes-Benz is not just a business collaboration; it’s a shared vision for the future of adventure vans,” the company said. “As the company continues to innovate and expand, it remains committed to setting new standards in quality and customer satisfaction.”
