Continuous Excellence Since 1876
Founded in 1923 as the Superior Motor Coach Body Company, Accubuilt is the world's leading specialty vehicle manufacturer. In 1981 we merged with our largest competitor, The S&S Coach Company and consolidated all operations in one facility. The S&S Coach Company has been in continuous operation since 1876 and we proudly maintain the standards of excellence that have allowed our oldest division to prosper for 130 years. Those standards include top quality products and comprehensive customer service.
Along the way, our company has deservedly earned a reputation for innovation. Superior pioneered the all steel school bus body and, although many improvements have been made to the interior, the basic body shell design is unchanged after decades of use. If you're familiar with the Ghost Busters movies, they feature Superior built ambulances that represent the ultimate in sedan-based models that were in vogue prior to government standards that required truck chassis for ambulance use. Accubuilt has also produced a wide variety of other specialty vehicles including convertibles, Class 8 truck tractors and highly unique limousines for royalty around the world.
The one constant throughout the years is a talented and dedicated work force imbued with solid, Midwestern values that produces high quality vehicles. We have many third generation employees and the fourth generation of some families is employed with us at our flagship, Lima, Ohio location. This 200,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility is the exclusive production plant for the W.P. Chrysler Executive Series 300. These sleek, longer wheelbase models are assembled on a recently added, tightly controlled, separate production line. Highly trained personnel, equipped with precision tools and equipment ensure that the W. P. Chrysler Executive Series units are produced to meet the exacting quality standards of both Chrysler Corporation and Accubuilt, Inc.
Accubuilt's Lima facility also features high-tech equipment such as CNC controlled routers, high-tonnage stamping presses and laser cutters, one of which is robotically controlled. For years, we have produced specially lengthened sedans for very high ranking government officials and business leaders. Our Lima plant is also home to over 60% of the funeral coaches and six-door limousines manufactured in North America and we export many around the world including to Japan, a country very well known for its rigorous, automotive quality requirements. Funeral vehicles actually represent one of the most challenging specialty vehicles to manufacture since we start with a domestic, sedan body and must completely alter it for its very special purpose while attaining the exacting quality standards of the world's most demanding customers. We are proud that we make the finest such vehicles available.
In addition to the above noted S&S Coach Company brand, other familiar specialty vehicle brand names manufactured by Accubuilt are Superior Coaches, Eureka and Miller-Meteor.
Accubuilt's Limousine Division operates a separate facility in Springfield, Missouri where we manufacture large, luxury limousines, which feature wheelbase extensions of up to 130" and a myriad of special options, under the DaBryan, S&S Coach and Superior Coaches brand names. Our Limousine Division is widely regarded as the highest quality producer of such vehicles.
Accubuilt is a leading builder of shuttle and mobility, wheelchair capable vans under the Accubuilt and Tuscany brand names. We produce them for both commercial and personal use at our Truck & Van Division located in Elkhart, Indiana. The Elkhart facility also produces the highly regarded Tuscany brand of custom pickups and personal use vans.
Accubuilt is the world's oldest and largest specialty vehicle manufacturer. All of our vehicles meet or exceed all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and are only produced under the auspices of the OEM chassis manufacturer. That assures our customers that all, applicable OEM chassis warranties are in full and complete effect and that the vehicles can be serviced at any OEM dealership. Accubuilt warrants our added work under the exact same terms and conditions as the basic OEM warranties.
We are extremely proud that Chrysler has chosen Accubuilt as the approved manufacturer of the W.P. Chrysler Executive Series 300. Dealers and end user customers can rest assured that Accubuilt will provide them with both a top quality product as well as comprehensive, after-the-sale service through the authorized Chrysler dealer network.
