The Protek Advantage

Quality Materials, Workmanship & Service

Company Background

Protek Bodies is a family-owned business with over 50 years of industry experience. While the company was originally founded as a fiberglass boom and bucket manufacturer, Protek Bodies transitioned into the truck body sector in the early 1980s after we recognized the potential of fiberglass truck bodies due to their lightweight materials, strength, and durability. At this time, we also identified a key limitation in the technology—fixed moulds—which restricted the level of customization that customers sought.

Through years of innovation and a strong commitment to listening to customer needs, our team developed a proprietary flexible mould system that allowed for complete customization of truck body designs, offering unprecedented flexibility in the market.

As customer preferences evolved, we saw that many clients also wanted aluminum or steel truck bodies. In response, we expanded our product line to include fully customizable bodies in fiberglass, aluminum, and steel.

Today, Protek Bodies is the only company in North America that manufactures fully customized truck bodies in all three materials: fiberglass, aluminum, and steel.
