Stellar Industries is a 100% employee-owned company in the manufacturing industry, headquartered in Garner, Iowa. Founded in 1990, Stellar Industries specializes in manufacturing high-quality work trucks, trailers, and service truck and van accessories. Stellar began as the first U.S. corporation to design and manufacture a domestic hydraulic hooklift hoist. Since its inception, Stellar has added the design and manufacturing of numerous products for an ever-expanding lineup of market-leading equipment. Through an innovative, growing product line and an expanding distribution network, Stellar has gained an international presence and become the No. 1 productivity choice in many markets. Stellar became employee-owned in 1999 when it established its ESOP. Stellar is now in its second generation of leadership with more than 700 employees. While it is no longer as small as it once was, the employee-owned, community-focused company is proud to hold the same small-town values with which it began. What Stellar has achieved is possible thanks to many individuals and their hard work, dedication and accomplishments.
