Twenty years ago, Delco Trailers was an idea, a commitment, and a lot of hard work in a small facility in Paris, Texas. Today, we’re a nationally recognized manufacturer with over 183 authorized dealers across the country, multiple industry awards, a state-of-the-art production facility, and a team of people who show up every day and pour everything they have into building the best trailers in America.
2026 is our 20th anniversary year. And we want to mark it properly, not just as a celebration, but as a statement about where we’ve been, who got us here, and what we’re building toward.
Where It All Started
Delco Trailers was founded in 2006 in Sumner, Texas, a family-owned company with a simple mission: build trailers that work as hard as the people who use them. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just quality steel, honest craftsmanship, and a commitment to standing behind every product that rolls off the line.
In the early years, that meant doing a lot with a little, proving the product, earning the trust of dealers, and building a reputation one trailer at a time. The foundation wasn’t just welds and steel. It was relationships, reliability, and the kind of values that only come from being a family business that genuinely cares about its name on the side of the trailer.
Twenty Years of Growth
A lot has changed since 2006. Delco has grown from a regional manufacturer into a nationally recognized brand, trusted by farmers, contractors, ranchers, landscapers, and haulers in every corner of the country. Our dealer network has expanded to 183+ authorized locations nationwide. Our facility has been rebuilt and expanded. We’ve integrated CNC technology across our entire production line, invested in our team, and added trailer models and capabilities that didn’t exist in our early years.
Along the way, the industry has taken notice. At the 2026 NATDA Trailer Tech Expo, Delco was named Manufacturer of the Year for the very first time, along with the Customer Service Excellence Award and the Rising Star Individual Award for Nathan Bryant on our sales team. For a family-owned company out of Northeast Texas, walking away with three first-time industry awards in our 20th anniversary year is something we couldn’t have scripted better.
But the awards aren’t what drive us. They’re a reflection of what happens when you focus on the right things, quality, relationships, and showing up for the people who count on you.
The People Who Built This
Twenty years isn’t built by one person or one decision. It’s built by the welders who’ve been on the floor since the beginning. The dealers who took a chance on an up-and-coming manufacturer and never looked back. The customers who hauled with a Delco trailer, trusted it, and told someone else about it.
It’s built by a team, in the shop, in the office, on the road, who take pride in what they make and who they make it for. And it’s built by the community here in Paris and Lamar County, which has supported and shaped Delco from day one.
To every person who has been part of this company’s first twenty years: this anniversary belongs to you as much as it belongs to us.
What’s Next: The Next 20 Start Now
We’re not slowing down. 2026 is a milestone, but it’s also a launchpad. This year, Delco enters its 20th anniversary with more momentum than ever — a growing dealer network, new product developments, continued investment in our manufacturing capabilities, and a team that’s fired up to build something even bigger in the years ahead.
The Trailer Build-Off competition is expanding. Our dealer support programs are getting stronger. Our trailers keep getting better. And the same values that built Delco in 2006 — quality, integrity, and a deep respect for the people who work hard and haul hard — those aren’t changing.
Here’s to 20 years. And to everything we’re going to build next.
