Assets including the intellectual property of refuse truck body manufacturer, E-Z Pack Manufacturing are being acquired by Illinois based truck and engine manufacturer, Navistar.

According E-Z Pack president Greg Podell, the company's relationship with Navistar began as a collaborative integration project intended to solve the various technical and operational challenges commonly faced by waste haulers buying chassis from one Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and acquiring packer bodies from a separate body OEM.

"The simplicity afforded haulers by an integrated refuse truck will provide improved productivity and fleet management efficiencies," he said

E-Z Pack, expects to continue building, marketing and supporting refuse truck bodies for integration with other OEM chassis.
