Insights
Wabash's new Midwest service center strengthens recurring revenue streams, doubles upfit capacity, and enhances strategic positioning in key freight markets.
Wabash's new Gary, Indiana service center represents a strategic expansion of its Parts and Services business, positioned along I-65—a critical freight artery connecting multiple Midwestern states. The location choice maximizes market reach across five states while diversifying Wabash's revenue streams beyond manufacturing into higher-margin aftermarket services.
What's particularly significant is the doubling of upfit volumes projected for 2025, indicating substantial demand growth in this segment. The company is effectively creating an ecosystem around its products—manufacturing the initial equipment, then capturing ongoing revenue through parts, service, and modifications throughout the equipment lifecycle.
The Gary facility offers both standard services and specialized capabilities like refrigerated truck body support and diesel repairs, addressing higher-value market segments. This
By expanding its national footprint across multiple states (now in 8 states with more locations planned), Wabash is building a more resilient business model with greater earnings stability. Parts and service operations typically provide more consistent cash flow than cyclical new equipment sales, particularly valuable during market downturns—which management subtly acknowledges by referencing "creating durable value and adding stability to the business, even in a challenging market."
Record upfit growth and rising customer demand drive new service center opening in a key freight corridor
LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wabash (NYSE: WNC), a leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions for the transportation, logistics and infrastructure markets, has opened a new Parts and Services facility in Gary, Ind. Strategically located along I-65—one of the nation’s busiest freight corridors—the center provides faster access to parts, service, and truck body upfitting for customers across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.
The new Midwest facility is part of Wabash’s broader effort to scale its national Parts and Services platform through new upfit centers, an expanded dealer network and a growing roster of preferred service partners. Together, these investments enable Wabash to improve parts access, reduce downtime and provide more responsive support to fleet operators nationwide.
This investment comes as Wabash’s Parts and Services business continues to demonstrate strong structural growth, with upfit volumes on track to more than double in 2025.
“We see Parts and Services as the connective tissue between manufacturing and long-term customer support,” said Brian Bauman, vice president of retail services at Wabash. “As we continue to grow this platform, we're not just expanding our footprint; we’re creating durable value and adding stability to the business, even in a challenging market.”
The new Midwest Parts and Services center delivers a one-stop-shop for Wabash Genuine Parts as well as Wabash’s Ready-to-Mount (RTM) truck body program, with in-stock dry and platform bodies ready for rapid turnaround in a few weeks. Unique among Wabash service locations, the new facility will also support refrigerated truck bodies and provide diesel truck repair services, expanding support for fleets in a high-demand region.
“The demand for upfit continues to grow across our customer base, from national leasing fleets to independent operators and small businesses looking for tailored equipment solutions,” added Bauman. “This new facility strengthens our footprint in a key market, improving turnaround speed, reducing downtime and enhancing the end-to-end customer experience.”
The Gary site follows the recent opening of Wabash’s Atlanta-area Parts and Services center and joins existing facilities in California, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, with additional locations planned in 2026.
