David City, NE November 2024 – Timpte, Inc. (Timpte), manufacturer of the #1 selling dry bulk commodity trailer in North America, is proud to be named the 2024 Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year by the NE Chamber. The award recognizes a Nebraska manufacturer that implements innovative ways to conduct business using products, processes, technologies, and other strategies.

“The Nebraska Chamber’s Manufacturer of the Year award celebrates a company that continuously betters its community and Nebraska’s overall economy, which is exactly what Timpte does,” said Mike Johnson, NE Chamber COO & EVP of Manufacturing. “Timpte embodies what it means to be a Manufacturer in Nebraska, from its state-of-the-art facility to being a competitive and desired place to work. We’re thrilled to honor Timpte as this year’s Manufacturer of the Year.”

Timpte is located in David City and has been there since 1980, however, the Timpte organization has been open since 1884. Over 140 years in business, Timpte has continuously changed the transportation industry with its product offerings. Timpte trailers are custom-built to ensure each trailer that hits the road and does its job efficiently and effectively. While it is mostly known for its Super Hopper line of aluminum hopper trailers, Timpte entered the equipment trailer market in 2020 and has grown that product line from three models to over sixteen models.

“We’re a company founded on innovating transportation to help people move materials more efficiently and more effectively,” said President and CEO Tim Carpenter. “Headquartered in David City, we take our Midwestern roots seriously, applying solid manufacturing principles and state-of-the-art technology to produce the industry’s best dry bulk commodity trailers and equipment trailers.”

Earlier in 2024, Timpte announced the construction of a second manufacturing facility that will house the production of equipment trailers and its Thunderstone Manufacturing, LLC, division. The new facility is scheduled to open in Q1 of 2025.
