As a Strategic Partner, Xtreme Manufacturing will receive hundreds of thousands of impressions across the MCAA’s wide range of trade-related activities.

About Xtreme Manufacturing: Xtreme Manufacturing was born from Don Ahern’s personal experience in the rental industry, struggling to find a reliable telehandler for his fleet. Inspired to produce his own machine that overcame common engineering faults of products available at the time, Don purchased Western Attachments Company in 1999, an Oregon based forklift company that specialized in rough terrain vertical mast forklifts. This business went on to become Xtreme Manufacturing in 2003, which today produces one of the largest and most versatile ranges of telehandlers in North America.

Additionally, Don harnessed the experience of the Xtreme engineering and manufacturing teams, along with feedback from customers, to fill a void in the market with the development of the Xtreme Cube™ portable building solution, as well as the E-Z Loader custom-built truck bed designed to reduce the loading and unloading time of equipment deliveries.
