Southwest Products Corp., an Arizona-based manufacturer of customized vocational trucks, industrial tanks and diesel and gas engines, has opened a new sales, parts and service center in Southwest Washington.

The facility, located at 6200 S 6th Way in Ridgefield, will allow the company to better satisfy customer demand in the region for specialty trucks and generators, said Kevin Burnette, president of Southwest Products.

“With new construction projects and the housing market picking up, as well as expanding telecom and energy markets, we believe there is a sizable need for vocational trucks and power generation in the region,” said Burnette.

Truck inventory is already available at the company’s Ridgefield facility and range of commercial, industrial, home and towable diesel and gaseous generators will become available in the coming months.

Southwest Products’ mobile generators are used largely for events, emergency power, rentals, job site power and at construction sites and healthcare facilities.
