SAINT-GEORGES, QC, July 22, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Manac Inc. ("Manac"), Canada's largest and most diverse trailer manufacturer, is excited to announce that they have been selected by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada to design and build the light capability trailer and the heavy equipment transporter in the General Dynamics team bid for Canada's Logistics Vehicle Modernization (LVM) program. Manac has five manufacturing plants, one in Oran, Missouri, another one in British Columbia, and three in the province of Quebec.

A program of this magnitude requires an organization and partners with the depth and experience to manage the technical scope and complexity.

The design and production of the heavy equipment transporters will be performed by a Manac-partner organization.

"We are very excited about this partnership and truly feel we have a winning combination to support General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada in their bid for Canada's Logistics Vehicle Modernization (LVM) project," says Tom Ramsden, Vice-President Sales & Marketing for Manac.
