Fontaine Modification Co. – a provider of truck modification services for OEMs, dealers and fleets throughout North America – announced plans to open its newest modification service center on May 1 in Denton, Texas. The new service center is dedicated to providing post-production truck modifications directly to Peterbilt dealers.
Services available to dealers include APU installation, fleet services for over-the-road and vocational applications, wheelbase changes, all-wheel-drive system installation, rollback body installation and paint services. The Denton facility also will be supported by Fontaine’s existing hub facility in Garland, Texas.
“This dedicated modification center will enable Fontaine to help Peterbilt dealers better meet the needs of their customers by providing exactly the right trucks for specific applications with all the benefits of a ship-thru program,” says Will Trantham, president of Fontaine Modification.
Jamil Young, Southern Region general manager for Fontaine, is responsible for the new facility, as well as the company’s Garland and Laredo modification service centers. In addition to the three Texas locations, Fontaine Modification has facilities in Charlotte, N.C.; Dublin, Va.; Springfield, Ohio; and Williamstown, W.V. The Charlotte location also houses the company headquarters and Innovation Center for Research and Development.
