Company History Founded in 1968 by two Hillsboro, Kansas entrepreneurs, Hillsboro Industries was from the start dedicated to producing unique, innovative, high-quality products. Beginning with spring-tooth harrows and multiple drill hitches, Hillsboro Industries’ product line soon grew to encompass flatbed trailers and hydraulic-dump grain trailers. These early-on products were met with an enthusiastic marketplace that recognized Hillsboro’s focus on quality, durability and value.

Although there have been quite a few trailer manufacturing companies fall to the way side over the past three or four years, we’ve remained strong and intend to be around for another 40 years. With an experienced and dedicated work force that continues to develop and introduce industry-first features and high-quality products year after year, our customers know “Hillsboro” means more than just a name. It means you are assured of getting the highest quality product made. Bottom line; when you say “HILLSBORO” you’re talking quality. |
