Talbert Manufacturing hosted a ribbon cutting May 14, 2019, that officially opened the 58,000-square-foot expansion of their Liberty, N.C. facility. The 120,000-square-foot Liberty Trailers LLC facility will manufacture Talbert’s Tag-A-Long series, traveling axle aeries and hydraulic tail series trailers.

With the expansion, the manufacturer looks to increase dealer and customer support throughout North America with increased production capabilities and a support staff of 60 associates. Several Talbert representatives were on hand for the occasion including President Andrew Tanner, Co-Owner Russ Stern, Vice President of Sales and Marketing Troy Geisler, Vice President of Operations Jim Hall and Vice President of Purchasing Jamie Myers.

“In 1938, Austin Talbert set out to change the heavy-haul industry,” said Andrew Tanner, president of Talbert Manufacturing. “With the expansion of Liberty Trailers LLC, Talbert Manufacturing is closer than ever to realizing his vision of customer-driven design that meets the ever-changing needs of the hauling industry. We’re able to double our current output, allowing us meet the needs of our Tag-A-Long customers and dealers across the U.S. and Canada so we can continue growing together.”

The Liberty facility was originally home to Ferree Trailers, which Talbert purchased in 2014. With the acquisition, Talbert continued producing select Ferree products and moved production of their Tag-A-Long, traveling axle and hydraulic tail series trailers from their Indiana facility to Liberty. As the OEM grew, so did demand for the trailer series being produced at Liberty. In 2018, Talbert began expansion of the building and staff as part of its overall growth plan.
