REV Group owns KME, Spartan ERV, Smeal, E-One, LTI and Ferrara. It was only a matter of time before they started consolidating.

It's all about the cost of production. Labor is a big part of that cost.

Heard a rumor that REV will have E-One build the bodies, Spartan build the chassis and Smeal build the aerials. REV had already opened a consolidated parts warehouse in Florida near E-One a while back.

Boy I hate to see skilled jobs leaving g these towns. The impact is substantial on these smaller communities. Good luck to all.
