The SpaceKap team spent last week in Indianapolis attending the “North America Work Truck Event,” an annual gathering held for 20 years that brings together manufacturers of commercial trucks, builders, and related service companies. The show lets participants discover the latest products and technologies in the industry.
Key Takeaways
- SpaceKap units are built to survive an average of 3 different trucks over 20 years, transferring from one pickup to the next.
- 50% of SpaceKap’s revenue now comes from the United States, following its push into the American market.
- Former Dallas Cowboys star Emmitt Smith, a 3-time Super Bowl champion, met with the SpaceKap team at the event.
Why does SpaceKap attend Work Truck Week every year?
It’s an excellent opportunity for SpaceKap to meet key suppliers and American clients. “We take advantage of this event to shake hands and discuss with people in the industry but also to introduce our products to those who are not yet familiar with them,” said Julien Bergeron-Côté, general manager at SpaceKap at the time.
How does SpaceKap’s transferable design compare to van manufacturers at the show?
The Quebec-based company has been part of the landscape for over 50 years and is considered the largest maker of fiberglass truck caps in North America. In recent years, SpaceKap has successfully penetrated the American market, so much so that 50 percent of its revenue now comes from the United States.
Several competitors were also present at the show, including Mercedes and Ram, showcasing their vans. “We saw it clearly at this show: our SpaceKap still holds the top spot in the market, and no one can compete with our product. In terms of manufacturing capacity, trucks are ahead of vans. Our service units are transferable from one pickup to another and are built to survive an average of 3 different trucks over the next 20 years,” Julien Bergeron-Côté added proudly.
Who did the SpaceKap team meet at the event?
Beyond confirming its role as a leader, SpaceKap took advantage of Work Truck Week to make some memorable connections. Former Dallas Cowboys star Emmitt Smith was one of the show’s guests. Smith, who holds 3 Super Bowl rings, took a photo with SpaceKap’s team, proof that the best associate with the best.
