The class toured Knapheide today with Chris Russell and got an inside look at one of Quincy’s most innovative and respected companies.

From the manufacturing floor to their newest expansion, students witnessed the scale, precision, and craftsmanship that make Knapheide a national leader in commercial vehicle upfitting. This group was even the first to tour the new facility.

Chris shared how Knapheide, a multi-generational, privately owned company, has stayed strong by prioritizing relationships and long-term vision over short-term profit. Their focus on people, quality, and integrity has built a business that stands as a true legacy.

We didn’t take many pictures today, so you’ll just have to tour Knapheide for yourself to see why this was such an amazing experience.
