About
Messer Truck and Van builds custom upfits that turn trucks and vans into safer, smarter, harder-working tools for the job, from design and installation to repairs and long-term support. Founded in 1899 by Walter A. Messer in Portland, Maine, as a one-man blacksmith shop building wagons, sleighs, and ship ironwork. As trucks replaced horses, they evolved into custom truck bodies and equipment. Four generations later, they now operate as Messer Truck and Van, building tough, work-ready trucks and vans. They equip both trucks and vans with custom upfits designed for efficiency, safety, and consistent specs. They partner with top names in truck and van equipment. They offer fleet solutions, branded solutions, and support communities in Maine and Ohio.
