Aluma Trailers has added 118 new, highly skilled, jobs to their manufacturing operations in the Iowa Lakes Region over the past 10 years with the support of 260E. As a lightweight trailer manufacturer, their greatest concerns have been time-to-market of new product offerings, and the workforce and technology needed to support new product lines. The training through 260E allowed Aluma Trailers to implement advanced manufacturing practices, robotics, and improved engineering practices. This has lowered overall product costs while increasing profit margins.
