“It is terrific to see homegrown companies like MAC Trailer setting the pace in quality production and innovative products decade after decade,” says Darlyn McDermott, market leader of MAGNET South. All told, MAC Trailer has about 30 acres of roof (1.6 million square feet) and about 1,300 employees. To address its growing manufacturing needs, the Alliance-based company expanded to Salem and Kent, but also grew its footprint nationally - first landing in Billings, Mt., in 2013, and then Oklahoma City and Texas in 2018. In the next several decades, MAC Trailer continued repairing trailers, but diversified its building business to include dump, refuge and flatbed trailers. “That’s when I decided we were going to build a building and go into new production.” “I was proud that I was behind building this product,” Conny says. A welder by trade, he thought he could “make a better living” being self-employed.įour years later, after a customer asked him to build a trailer - and even loaned him the money to buy the needed parts - MAC Trailer had found its true calling. In 1992, when MAC Trailer president/owner Michael Conny started a business repairing commercial truck trailers in a one-bay garage, using an $8,000 loan from his mother, his initial ambition was simply to be his own boss.
