Ranger Design, a leading manufacturer and service provider of innovative fleet upfit solutions and commercial van equipment, has opened a new fleet upfitting and manufacturing facility in North Charleston, South Carolina.
Established in 1988 and headquartered in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, Ranger Design offers leading-edge van storage systems and turnkey solutions for fleets, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), and tradespeople to help them work more efficiently and safely.
This new facility is Ranger Design’s third expansion in the past 10 years, adding to sites in Rochester, New York, Seattle, Washington, and Montréal, Canada.
“Our geographic expansion into the southeast U.S. and the build-out of our fleet upfit solutions capabilities are a significant part of our overall growth plan. It positions us for new opportunities and enables us to better serve our current customers,” said Ron Cowie, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Ranger Design.
This latest 62,000-square-foot facility will provide Ranger Design with additional warehousing capacity and will be a one-stop shop for resellers and fleet managers offering design, manufacturing, and upfitting services for commercial EV (electric vehicles) and ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles.
“This $1.5 million investment will allow our current distributor network to participate in local fleet projects that include installation, reporting, and logistics. Also, it will enable us to better serve our North American Mercedes-Benz fleet customers, as well as provide an option for large fleet customers with regional needs,” added Cowie.
As a Tier 1 OEM supplier to Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis and with a network of over 200 resellers across the US and Canada, Ranger Design has become the trusted partner for fleets, OEMs, and resellers with its turnkey solutions, unmatched customer support, fast delivery times, and state-of-the-art logistics and installations.
Located in North Charleston, the company expects the new facility to be fully operational by October 2023.
