Pak-Mor: 2003 to Present

    Following an industry-wide slump, Pak-Mor filed for Chapter 11 reorganization protection in June of 2003. Shortly thereafter, they began liquidating the San Antonio facility, ending over fifty years of refuse truck production there. Fortunately, a re-organized company, Pak-Mor Limited, returned to production again in 2004, in nearby Seguin, Texas. Front, rear, and side loaders are still produced, as well as the split-body recycling rear loaders.
