CURT Manufacturing LLC., a manufacturer of USA-made towing products, has announced the acquisition of Luverne Truck Equipment. Luverne is one of the largest domestic manufacturers of truck accessories, offering a wide selection of front-end protection, side steps, splash guards, mirrors and more. Luverne is headquartered in Brandon, South Dakota, and has been designing and manufacturing American-made truck accessories since 1963.
Luverne manufactures thousands of high-quality products here in the United States, under the brand names Retrac, MegaStep, GripStep, Regal 7, ProTec and Tuff Guard. Luverne produces accessories primarily in high-quality polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and powder-coated mild steel. The company offers applications for pickups, SUVs and vans, as well as a broad range of heavy-duty applications, including semi-tractors.
“We’re very excited to join forces with CURT, a company with a similar culture and focus on American manufactured products,” said John Schulzetenberg, president of Luverne.
Steve Lempelius, executive vice president of Luverne, believes the passion and aggressiveness of CURT will be a shot in the arm to the success of Luverne Truck Equipment and Retrac.
“Bringing Luverne into the CURT family is both exciting and advantageous for CURT and our customers,” stated CURT CEO Greg Hooks. “We are proud to be adding more manufacturing capabilities for truck accessories within the United States, especially in the heavy-duty truck market. We look forward to the improved quality, speed and flexibility that this acquisition will provide.”
