ALCOM’s impressive growth has been driven by a dedicated team committed to producing the highest-quality aluminum trailers across every category. From our beginnings with a single flagship facility in Winslow, Maine, we’ve expanded to four manufacturing plants across the country. This strategic growth not only strengthens our dealer network but also creates valuable career opportunities, fosters innovation, and enhances our ability to deliver top-tier products with faster turnaround times and lower freight costs

Our team proudly manufactures 160+ standard trailer models, covering a wide range of applications—including cargo, personal watercraft (PWC), horse and livestock, car haulers, snowmobile, landscape and utility, ATV, and motorcycle trailers. We don’t just build trailers; we customize solutions, ensuring our dealers receive open and enclosed models tailored to their customers' needs
