THE ALCOM APPROACH
Trailers built for dealers
ALCOM's storied growth has been attained through a commitment to providing our dealer network with the top quality aluminum trailer products. We have expanded our production facilities from our single flagship plant in Winslow, Maine - to now running 6 plants across the country.
Manufacturing 160+ standard trailer models, we're able to customize a lineup of open and enclosed units that addresses the dealer's exact needs based on region, budget, and localized competition.
The Leadership
Trapper Clark
Trapper was one of the 2 original founders of ALCOM, and still continues to steer the ship as the CEO of ALCOM to this day. Trapper has helped grow ALCOM from a single rented 8,000 sq. ft. space to 6 facilities across the country employing approx. 1200 people.
Trapper was a graduate of The University of Maine where he played Division 1 college Hockey. Trapper enjoys being outdoors and spending time with his wife and their 5 kids.
Dan Mills
Starting with ALCOM Inc at its conception in 2006 as the first and only salesman covering all of the United States and Canada. He came to ALCOM two years after graduating from The University of New England.
As ALCOM's CSMO, Dan has built an industry leading sales team of (13) territorial representatives and (10) inside sales representatives and continues to contribute significantly to ALCOM's overall sales volume.
How we work
MARKET DEMAND
Among the key contributors to our broad product offering is our ability to consistently evaluate each product line, in terms of relevance and quality. We work diligently to improve on existing models, whenever possible, and develop new lines that "fill-in the gaps" that occur in an ever-evolving market.
Another driving force behind ALCOM's success is our commitment to quick manufacturing turnaround times. As of late-spring, we now operate 7 days a week, maximizing our output efficiency.
As a result, we have been able to reduce lead-times that were already among the best in the industry. Keeping a keen eye towards company growth, ALCOM has prospered through a variety of economic challenges.
In terms of stability, we are as strong as they come.
DEALERS FIRST
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of ALCOM's business approach is our steadfast commitment to customer service. We wholeheartedly believe that we provide the best.
At ALCOM, "customer service" extends beyond answering phone calls or employing a massive road sales force. It is our mission to keep our dealers informed, while providing a quality product that attracts buyers and ultimately adds to our dealers' bottom lines.
From the components used to build our products, to the skilled craftsmen that we employ, to our service before, during, and after the sale, ALCOM's dealers are our number one priority and that notion is reflected in every aspect of our business.
