Summit Body & Equipment
The new truck body manufacturing plant for Summit Body has been a game-changer to help us grow this employee-owned company. The number of challenges overcome by the project team was impressive. Time and again, we encountered permitting and budgeting problems. CIDA as our design team, persistently engaged with Clark County to finally get our approvals. The result is a modern manufacturing facility from which our employees are cranking out a record number of truck bodies. We’re just now investing in an additional laser that will bring in-house a critical step in our manufacturing process, something we would never had been able to do without this terrific new building. We are all so proud!”
