Morgan Olson Kurbmaster
Building the Best...this has been the mission and the driving force behind Morgan Olson since it is inception more than 60 years ago.
The idea for the first aluminum bodied truck orientated in Brooklyn New York, when the owner of a laundry, complained to a friend that their steel truck bodies were too just heavy. This friend, Jimmy Olson did not know much about truck bodies, but with about 10 laundry companies in Brooklyn alone, he saw a market for lighter trucks. An aluminum body would be lighter than steel, would last longer and could handle the moisture and corrosive substances associated with the laundry business.
Over the course of the next few years, Jimmy Olson and his partners developed the first ever aluminum walk-in body, which would be named the Kurbside. As its demand grew, so did its offerings. More sizes, more options, all with the same mission in mind - listen to the customer and build to their needs.
Mr. Olson was also successful in pioneering Chevrolet to provide body builders with a true stripped chassis to eliminate the modification of cab chassis or cowl chassis.
Over the years, thousands of companies have depended on Morgan Olson to provide them with innovative delivery vehicles to get their product to their customers, on-time, every time. None more notable than in 1986, when the United States Postal Service (USPS), relied on Morgan Olson to develop the next generation postal delivery vehicle. Over the course of the next 10 years Morgan Olson produced over 150,000 units all of which can be seen in neighborhoods throughout the country.
Today, Morgan Olson continues its tradition as the leading walk-in van body manufacturer in North America. Its portfolio of customers serves a multitude of industries and delivery applications. From baking and snack foods to newspaper, textile rental, vending and parcel delivery, the choice is clear.
