Dorsey recently completed a new production facility to expand capacity and its chassis offerings. The partnership with THACO will more than triple volume capability, increasing from 3,000 units to more than 10,000 per year.

“We’re excited about the synergy that this partnership will create in the industry,” said Dorsey President J.P. Pierson.

“The THACO facilities are fully automated with robotic welding, electrostatic painting, and other efficiencies necessary for high volume production,” said Pierson.
