PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Feb. 10, 2026 —
Manufacturing Corporation of America, a manufacturing-focused investment and operating company, today announced its acquisition of
TRUKD, a premium U.S.-based truck bed rack manufacturer known for its modular, stainless-steel systems designed by and for outdoor enthusiasts and skilled tradespeople.
Moving beyond a traditional acquisition model, TRUKD will operate within MCA’s Metal One Fabrication facility, enabling a turnkey, vertically integrated manufacturing model that brings design, engineering, fabrication, finishing and fulfillment under one roof. By pairing brand ownership with these complementary capabilities, MCA is helping to build a more resilient, efficient and competitive manufacturing platform, while supporting skilled American jobs and enthusiast-driven brands.
“MCA is accelerating the revitalization of American manufacturing by investing in next-generation U.S.-based product companies,” said Fritz O’Connor, CEO of MCA. “The acquisition advances MCA’s mission to revitalize American manufacturing while positioning TRUKD for faster innovation, improved supply-chain resilience and scalable growth.”
Positioned for Growth
Founded on a philosophy of continuous improvement and exceptional customer service, TRUKD has earned a loyal following for its modular rack systems, which are built from stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance. Its products are engineered to work with tonneau truck bed covers and toppers, allowing customers to keep truck beds secure while running full-height racks, a key market differentiator.
“TRUKD isn’t changing, we’re getting better,” said Ben Azzam, president of TRUKD. “Joining forces with MCA allows TRUKD to compete against the largest players in the industry in terms of manufacturing capacity, short lead time delivery and quality. It positions TRUKD for rapid growth and lets us deliver more value to our customers.”
Through the integration, TRUKD can now prototype new components in days rather than weeks, accelerating product development and enabling the company to solve its customers' real-world problems faster than competitors.
TRUKD, which has grown nearly 100% year over year, can leapfrog years of manufacturing build-out by leveraging MCA’s existing infrastructure, skilled workforce and lean processes.
“Being made in America means more than a label,” Azzam added. “It means transparency in materials, faster delivery, consistent quality, supply chain stability and real people on the other end of the phone. Our customers trust what we build because they know exactly how and where it’s made.”
What TRUKD Customers Are Saying
“I am so glad I found this company! Every Reddit article stated that there was no bed rack for a truck with a tri-fold tonneau cover. I found one—and an amazing owner willing to answer questions and help with installation. The product is very solid. Exactly what I was looking for.”

“What sets TRUKD apart is the brand’s relentless focus on innovation combined with American craftsmanship. Each rack reflects countless hours of engineering, testing, and refinement in both the shop and the field. TRUKD doesn’t just create a bed rack—it designs the best rack available, balancing strength, versatility and usability with attention to detail competitors rarely match.”
