Salem, IL (September 5, 2024) — EnTrans International, a leading manufacturer of tank trailers and related equipment, is pleased to announce the strategic relocation of its JARCO business from Salem, Illinois, to a state-of-the-art facility in Holdingford, Minnesota. This move is a significant step in the company’s ongoing commitment to enhance production capabilities, expand aftermarket support and leverage its extensive dealer network to better serve customers across the nation.
The upgraded Holdingford facility offers increased production capacity, advanced quality systems, and improved engineering resources, enabling EnTrans to meet the growing demand for JARCO products. This relocation will lead to substantial improvements in lead times, safety and quality — ultimately delivering an outstanding customer experience.
“We are excited to relocate the JARCO business to Holdingford, Minnesota,” said Jake Radish, chief commercial officer at EnTrans International. “This move not only enhances our production capabilities but also strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive support to our customers. Our full support team, including both inside sales and our extensive outside dealer network, will be more integrated and responsive than ever, ensuring that our customers receive the highest level of service and support.”
The integration of JARCO’s operations into the Minnesota plant is designed to drive new synergies that will enhance efficiency and quality, while a focus on safety and Lean manufacturing principles will ensure the delivery of products with shorter lead times. This enhanced capacity, combined with a commitment to safety and quality, will position EnTrans to offer world-class delivery of the JARCO product line through a nationwide dealer network.
The transition will begin in Q4 2024 and is expected to be fully completed by the end of Q1 2025. During this period, there will be no disruptions in delivery to customers. The EnTrans team will remain fully operational and available to assist with any needs, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.
“Our commitment to our customers remains unwavering,” Radish continued. “With this move, we are better positioned to offer robust sales, production and aftermarket services, all supported by a fully integrated team dedicated to improving lead times, safety, quality and delivery. We are confident that this relocation will result in even better products, services and an overall customer experience.”
