Transwest history
Transwest company history timeline
By 1990, an opportunity to obtain a small dealership moved Barb and George to Colorado, and Transwest with the first 112 employees, began.
Our second location, Transwest Buick GMC Isuzu formed around 1990.
Our Frederick location started as a small lot in the 1990’s, at I-25 and exit 240 (Highway 119), selling horse trailers, used personal trucks, and service out of three bays.
Founded in 1994, Transwest Trailers began offering commercial trailers from the industry’s leading manufacturers.
All Fleet Services began in 1996 when a friend of our founder reached out wanting to lease parking and office space.
All Truck and Trailer Parts opened for business in July 2001.
We’ve improved quality and efficiency to help production double to an average output of 480 trucks per year since the plant opened in 2003.
Summit Bodyworks has over 20 years of experience as a specialty vehicle builder and officially became part of Transwest in 2008.
Our branch originally started in Colorado Springs as an ATTP, then moved to Fountain and opened in January of 2011, and have been going strong ever since.
Our Dayton Branch opened in May 2016.
The Greeley team has done a great job in growing parts sales at the branch and in 2016 moved to a new, larger facility just two miles north of the first facility.
In 2017 saw the addition of towable lines, with such names as Keystone, Winnebago, and Heartland, and Western Haulers to our already vast array of vehicles and trailers.
In 2017, Summit Bodyworks purchased Alfred Industries & Specialty Vehicle Divisions – now known as Summit Bodyworks Truck & Van Bodies.
In the summer of 2017, Summit Truck Bodies launched a new venture called Yellow Frog Graphics.
In 2018 over 1000 employees reported to Transwest facilities, and there is no sign they’ll be slowing down.
Rate how well Transwest lives up to its initial vision.
