EDMONTON — Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company says that one of its Canadian dealers, Ocean Trailer in Alberta, has moved into a new facility in Edmonton.

Ocean Trailer, an independent Utility Trailer dealer in Western Canada, is celebrating its 10th anniversary of the Edmonton branch with a new state-of-the-art facility. The new 21-acre campus features a 40,000 sq ft. building with 20 service bays and 5,000 sq ft. parts warehouse.

Headquartered in Coquitlam, near Vancouver, B.C., Ocean Trailer will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2006. The Edmonton branch is one of five locations serving Western Canada, with two branches in Alberta, as well as locations in B.C., Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

“The new site was worth the investment, because the region is now equipped with a state-of-the-art facility, broad warehouse stock and bays ready to service the local industry,” said Craig Bennett, senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “This expansion reflects the ongoing commitment to customer service by Utility’s dealers throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.”
