LEHR, a national emergency vehicle upfitting company, announced the opening of a new 40,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Nashville, Tennessee, under its Truckers Lighthouse brand. The facility more than doubles the company’s previous 15,000-square-foot location and introduces an innovative lean manufacturing production line process to the emergency vehicle upfitting industry, company officials stated in a press release.
“We are excited to significantly expand our Nashville operations with this state-of-the-art facility,” said Daniel Hamm, chief executive officer of LEHR. “This investment demonstrates our commitment to serving our Tennessee customers with enhanced capacity and capabilities. Truckers Lighthouse is pioneering a new approach to vehicle upfitting that will deliver faster turnaround times, improved quality control, and the superior craftsmanship that first responders depend on to keep their communities safe.”
Impact of the New Truckers Lighthouse Nashville Facility on Production & Staff
The new Nashville facility features a purpose-built installation floor designed specifically for lean manufacturing processes, with three acres of parking to accommodate increased vehicle capacity, noted the release. The facility opened for vehicle production on Dec. 1, 2025, and is doubling its workforce, including technicians and sales staff, to support the expanded operations. LEHR says this strategic investment addresses a critical industry challenge: reducing lead times while maintaining the highest quality standards.
“This expansion represents a major milestone for Truckers Lighthouse and builds on our strong presence across Tennessee,” said Andy Stoll, president of Truckers Lighthouse. “We are bringing a brand-new way to approach the upfitting industry that has never been successfully implemented in our sector. Combined with our existing modern facilities in Knoxville and Chattanooga, this positions us as the regional leader in emergency vehicle upfitting. Our strategic location in Davidson County gives us a competitive advantage, as we’re the only provider of our caliber directly in the heart of Nashville.”
A grand opening celebration is planned for early 2026.
LEHR also recently announced the acquisition of Systems for Public Safety Inc.
