Just was told by a Smeal dealer that all Smeal dealers now also rep Danko. I asked if Smeal bought an interest in some part or whole of Danko, but that was unknown.
Between Smeal, LTC, US Tanker, and Danko this gives a fairly complete line that gives them a means to be competitive on just about anything out there. This will be interesting to watch. They could bid a Danko tanker against someone else looking for a no frills, inexpensive water hauler, to a Smeal that would be a sole source rig with their own branded Ferrara sourced chassis, or even a US Tanker with a stainless body.
Supposedly UST has already gained a ton more work after the acquisition, should be interesting to watch.
The UST stainless pumper body is a little different animal than say a Toyne or Custom Fire stainless bolted unit. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
