East Manufacturing has announced that Meister-Shane is now an authorized dealer, carrying the company’s lineup of aluminum and steel trailers.
Meister-Shane will offer East’s aluminum flatbed and drop deck trailers, aluminum and steel dump trailers, and aluminum dump bodies as well as parts and service.
“We're excited to be part of the East family,” said Scott Hemstreet, president and chief engineer of Meister-Shane. “And look forward to continuing a tradition of superior quality that is at the core of both of our companies.”
Meister-Shane specializes in the repair of dump trailers, including wreck repair, and serves 15 counties in central Illinois. The company was originally focused only on service, but now carries new and used trailer inventory in addition to parts and financing.
“In both their new East trailer sales role as well as in in their service expertise, we are happy to have Meister-Shane on board as a new East dealer,” said Dave de Poincy, president of East. “Their reputation in quality service is number one.”
