DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Wabash National Corporation (the “Company,” “Wabash,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was founded in 1985 and incorporated as a corporation in Delaware in 1991, with its principal executive offices in Lafayette, Indiana. The Company was founded as a dry van trailer manufacturer—today, the Company enables customers to thrive by providing insight into tomorrow and delivering pragmatic solutions today to move everything from first to final mile. Wabash designs, manufactures, and services a diverse range of products, including dry freight and refrigerated trailers, platform trailers, tank trailers, dry and refrigerated truck bodies, structural composite panels and products, trailer aerodynamic solutions, and specialty food grade processing equipment. This diversification has been achieved through acquisitions, organic growth, and product innovation.
As further described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, on January 10, 2022, the Company completed its review and approval of its plan for rebranding as Wabash®. As part of the rebranding, the Company assessed its usage of trade names and brand names in connection with the long-term growth strategy as One Wabash. Under the plan as approved, the Company no longer uses certain trade names or brand names, and predominantly uses Wabash (or variations thereof) to refer to the Company. Refer to Note 5 for additional details regarding non-cash impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021, related to trade name and trademark intangible assets as a result of the Company’s rebranding.
