Wabash National Corporation opened a new Parts and Services center in Phoenix, Arizona, on February 26 2026. The facility sits along I‑10 and brings ready‑to‑mount freight and platform bodies, mounting, shelving, roof racks, lift gates, telematics, and other custom components directly to fleets operating in the Southwest, shortening delivery times from months to weeks.
The Phoenix center is part of Wabash’s broader strategy to grow its Parts & Services segment, which has become a double‑digit revenue driver amid a trailer downcycle. In the fourth quarter of 2025 the segment grew 33% year‑over‑year, underscoring its role as a more stable, higher‑margin source of revenue as the company shifts focus from cyclical trailer production to recurring aftermarket services.
Dave Hill, vice president of Recurring Revenue, said the new facility “expands the reach of Wabash in the West and brings our services closer to where our customers operate every day. We continue to see strong demand for our Ready‑to‑Mount solutions and upfitting services, with our 2025 upfit volumes nearly doubling volumes from the previous year. By expanding our footprint in Phoenix, we’re better positioned to meet that demand and provide customers of all sizes with faster delivery, greater uptime and the confidence that support is there when they need it.”
Wabash’s fourth‑quarter 2025 results, released on February 4 2026, highlighted the company’s financial challenges: a net loss and an adjusted EPS of –$0.93, a miss of $0.17 versus analyst expectations. Revenue of $321.45 million slightly beat the forecast of $318.33 million, but the EPS miss reflected lower trailer production volumes and higher operating costs. The company’s focus on expanding the Parts & Services network, including the Phoenix center, is a strategic response to the trailer downcycle and a move toward higher‑margin recurring revenue streams.
Investors reacted to the EPS miss, noting that the company’s recurring revenue growth and the new Phoenix facility signal a shift toward a more resilient business model, even as it navigates short‑term profitability pressures. The expansion is expected to strengthen Wabash’s recurring revenue stream and enhance its competitive position in the western U.S. market.
