About Compass Trailers

Compass Trailers is a family-focused company; building industry-leading products while making safety, innovation and customer service our highest priorities.

Who We Are


Compass Trailers was founded in February of 2010 with one simple goal—to build the best trailer company in North America by building real partnerships with dealers and creating products that have value, feature and service.

Compass assembled a dedicated and experienced management team of industry vets and set out to build trailers focused on the needs and wants of the consumer. Since the first Compass trailer rolled off the line at the Bristol manufacturing facility, Compass has grown to five regional plants in Indiana, Arizona, Utah, Pennsylvania and Texas.

In November of 2011 Compass acquired the Pace American brand and purchased Pace's Indiana facility. The Compass team is re-launching Pace products nationwide with the intent to restore and improve on the iconic brand.

"At Compass Trailers, we are focused on being the best, rather than being the biggest, trailer company in the industry. We stay focused on our customers, react quickly to industry changes, and produce custom-made, value-driven, affordably-priced trailers,” stated Matt Arnold, President.

Compass currently produces models ranging form the small entry-level 4'-wide enclosed cargo trailers to the 8.5'-wide custom built 53' goosenecks. No matter what the customer's need, Compass Trailers has a solution available.

Compass Family of brands is a full line up of five well-established brands. This Family of Brands includes Compass Trailers, Look® Trailers, Cargo Express® Trailers, Pace American® Trailers, and Everlite® Trailers. Having a strong family of brands allows Compass Trailers to manufacture and sell our units nationwide, making our products available to all of those that want them.
