History
Our brands can all look back on a long and traditional company history. A small selection of important milestones can be found here in pictures and text.
Shyft Group Legacy
The roots of the Shyft Group trace back to 1975, when Spartan was founded by a small team of automotive engineers just outside Lansing, Michigan. Drawing on their collective expertise, they launched a company built on innovation, craftsmanship, and customer commitment.
From those beginnings, the group has grown into a family of trusted brands with thousands of dedicated associates across multiple campuses and states. Today, it engineers, assembles, and services vehicles and upfits—always backed by a higher level of service and support long after the sale. In 2021, Forbes recognized the group as one of America’s 100 fastest-growing companies. Shortly before merging with the Aebi Schmidt Group, it proudly celebrated its 50th anniversary. Take a look here at the brochure, which provides an overview of the group’s offerings on the occasion of its anniversary. With well-respected brands such as Utilimaster, Blue Arc, Royal Truck Body, DuraMag, Magnum, Strobes-R-Us, Spartan RV Chassis, and Builtmore, the former Shyft Group earned a reputation for agility, innovation, and delivering reliable, efficiency-driven solutions for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs.
Now part of the Aebi Schmidt Group, system and website updates are underway, but customer contacts and support remain unchanged. Together, we are combining strengths to expand our offerings, enhance support, and continue shaping the future of last-mile delivery, commercial specialty vehicles, road maintenance, and more.
