    Ravens to dump steel line

    Dec. 10, 2002
    Fontaine Trailer Co. said its Ravens division will shut down its Knox, IN, steel dump trailer plant on December 20. The three models of trailers that will be affected by this are the Materializer, Eliminator, and Terminator. The closure will allow Ravens to redirect its focus and strengths to its aluminum flatbed and aluminum dump products.
