LAFAYETTE, Ind. – May 6, 2019 – Wabash National Corporation (NYSE: WNC) today announced it has been honored with a 2018 Plant Safety Award from the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) for its operation in Mexico, which manufactures Brenner and Bulk brand tank trailers, as well as stainless steel silos for Walker Engineered Products.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized by TTMA once again for exemplary safety performance. Safety is our number one value and priority at Wabash National, and this recognition is a testament to the operational excellence our employees deliver every day,” said Dave Hill, vice president and general manager, Tank Trailers. “I congratulate our entire team for a job well done.”

This is the 12th year Wabash National’s Tank Trailer business has received a plant safety award from TTMA. The award was presented to President and Chief Executive Officer Brent Yeagy on April 27 at TTMA’s 77th Annual Convention.

Award determinations are based on direct comparison of injury data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Annual Summary Form 300A, the same data used by the National Safety Council and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Awards are given to tank and trailer manufacturers based on the number of man-hours worked. The company’s operation in San José Iturbide, Guanajuato, Mexico, won in Category B for plants that reported between 300,000 and 750,000 man-hours.

TTMA is a member-based organization established to build confidence between manufacturers of truck trailers, cargo tanks, intermodal containers and their suppliers to bring about a mutual understanding of the problems confronting all manufacturers.
