Great Dane acquires Johnson reefer bodies

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Great Dane Trailers bought Johnson Refrigerated Truck Bodies, which makes insulated fiberglass refrigerated truck bodies, all-electric refrigeration solutions, and innovative truck refrigeration technology.

Johnson Refrigerated Truck Bodies was founded in 1932 by the Johnson Family in Rice Lake, Wis.

Great Dane says the purchase is a strategic addition to the semi-trailer manufacturer’s sales platform and expands the company’s product offerings in refrigerated transportation equipment to the food service industry.

For Johnson, the overlap with Great Dane’s customer base will support and expand the truck body manufacturer’s business. In addition, Johnson will have access to Great Dane’s network of distribution, parts and service centers.
