Wright Industries announced a landmark partnership with Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, the nation’s largest commercial vehicle distributor, making Model 1 the first nationwide authorized dealer for Wright Industries’ new line of ambulances.
With over 25 locations across the United States and a 45-year track record of leadership in commercial vehicle sales, service, and innovation, Model 1 brings unmatched reach and experience to the Wright Industries network. Together, the two companies now represent the largest ambulance sales and service footprint in the country, setting a new national standard for availability, reliability, and
customer support.
“I’ve worked alongside Tony Matijevich and the Model 1 team for over 20 years, and in that time, they’ve done nothing but perform,” said David Wright, President of Wright Industries and Wright Capital Management. “Model 1 has spent four decades leading the commercial vehicle space with integrity, knowledge, and execution. They understand what it takes to deliver for customers and communities nationwide. We’re honored to have them as our first nationwide ambulance dealer and even more honored to continue a partnership built on trust and shared values.”
The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between David Wright and Tony Matijevich, one forged during Wright’s 22-year tenure leading operations at Forest River Bus. The two collaborated extensively during that era to grow Forest River’s national dealer network, a relationship that now evolves into a new chapter focused on serving the ambulance industry.
“What David Wright accomplished at Forest River was extraordinary,” said Tony Matijevich, Chief Executive Officer of Model 1 Commercial Vehicles. “He built products and partnerships that changed the market and he did it with integrity and precision. Wright Industries represents that same spirit of innovation and discipline, and we’re proud to stand with them as they lead the next evolution in the ambulance business. Model 1 was founded on trust, performance, and service, the very same pillars that define Wright Industries . Together, we will work tirelessly to raise the bar for the entire industry.”
With production already underway in Wright Industries’ 125,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Indiana, the companies will begin offering Wright Industries ambulances nationwide through Model 1’s dealer network later this year. This partnership marks another major milestone in Wright Industries’ mission to revitalize American manufacturing and deliver industry-leading vehicles with faster delivery times, superior quality, and world-class dealer support.
