The Knapheide Manufacturing Company was founded in 1848 by Henry Knapheide, an immigrant from Westphalia, Germany. Originally a wagon company, Knapheide began making truck bodies in the early 1900’s and is the oldest manufacturer in the truck equipment industry still owned by the founding family.
After 150 years of operation, The Knapheide Mfg. Co. has evolved into the nation’s premier producer of steel service bodies and platform/stake style truck bodies. Our company has seen a lot of changes over the years, but one thing that will never change is the value, function and durability built into our products.
