___________________________________________________________________________________ Crenlo Engineered Cabs
Formed through the merger of Crenlo Cab Products and Worthington Industries Engineered Cabs in November 2019 , the business previously experienced decades of success as Crenlo Cab Products , supplying its very first operator cabs to Caterpillar and John Deere in 1957 . The business boasts extensive expertise and experience in pairing the world ’ s most productive off-road vehicles with the industry ’ s most valued cabs . As a global leader in off-highway vehicle operator cabs , its innovative hologram design and 3D printing techniques not only shorten lead times for customers but enhance value for end users .
Manufacturing Today had the opportunity to sit down with Crenlo Engineered Cabs CEO , John Lenga . From his extensive experience in both CEO and CFO roles , John is well-equipped to capture profitable growth , implement operational and process improvements , and address organizational challenges . Today , the company ’ s operations are split into two primary areas – operator cabs and cobalt modern cabs . While operator cabs are typically used for highways , construction , and agricultural applications , cobalt cabs can be used for a variety of applications and offer customers a level of design flexibility . Manufacturers have historically had little input in the design of cabs , but Crenlo ’ s cobalt modern cab encourages customization . It enables customers to have the convenience of a ready-to-install , quick-to-market , fully integrated cab , but with the added design flexibility to make it unique to a brand . With a goal to keep operators safe , comfortable , and productive , the business continually invests in new systems , products , and technology to enhance production and efficiency .
