Providing Innovative Transportation Solutions
To The Agri & Equine Markets
At EBY, our construction is the difference and we take pride in delivering innovative products backed by quality and durability. It’s that approach that makes EBY a recognized leader in the design and construction of standard and custom aluminum livestock and equine transportation equipment. Since 1938, EBY has been at the forefront of innovation within the agri and equine industry. EBY’s aluminum transportation equipment is recognized for their exceedingly competitive empty weights, durable construction, attractive appearance and advanced designs. In addition to trailers, EBY manufactures all aluminum truck bodies for agriculture, landscape (commercial and residential), and industrial applications.
EBY horse trailers, livestock trailers, bulk commodities trailers and truck bodies are sold throughout the United States and Canada by a strategically located dealer network and factory branches in Blue Ball, PA; West Jefferson, OH; and Story City, IA. EBY equipment can also be exported internationally through ports in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newark, NJ.
Producing Quality Agri Transportation Products Since 1938M.H. EBY was started in 1938, when Menno H. Eby, Sr. purchased a small woodworking and chair shop in Blue Ball, PA. Within a few years, he doubled the shop size and began to manufacture wood livestock bodies, a market niche where quality craftsmanship and the ability to provide custom features were important to the customers he served. Originally, EBY products were made primarily of wood and steel, but the EBY commitment to innovation eventually lead to the introduction of aluminum into EBY’s products. Upon Menno H. Eby, Sr.’s retirement in 1972, ownership of the company was passed to his son, Menno H. Eby, Jr., who then incorporated the business in 1974. In the early 70s, Menno Eby, Jr. pioneered the switch of the complete EBY line of products to aluminum. The use of this corrosion-resistant material, coupled with the company’s innovative designs, has allowed EBY to set new standards in aluminum agri-transportation equipment. In 1984, due to the increased demand for its equipment, the company moved from its original location to a new, modern, state-of-the-art 55,000 square foot facility. Today, EBY remains family owned and operated. With the continued guidance of Menno Jr., the leadership is being passed onto the 3rd generation of Ebys, M. Travis and Nick, ensuring that the company is poised for future expansion and continued success.
