100 Years Of Experience

The W.F. Mickey Body Company has come a long way since founder Will Franklin Mickey opened his blacksmith shop in High Point, NC in 1904. However two things have remained constant through the years:

Unwavering commitment to quality, innovation and customer service.
Privately-owned and operated by the Mickey family, now in its 4th generation.

Throughout its history, Mickey Truck Bodies has led the pace of change within its customer markets. For example, Mickey designed and built the first all- aluminum trailer, which set a new industry standard for lightweight, maximum payload capacity and durability and marked a major turning point in the history of the beverage distribution industry.
