What Quigley Inc does

Quigley Motor Company, Inc., operating as Quigley 4x4 Vans, is a third-generation family-owned manufacturer that converts full-size vans and cutaway chassis from GM, Ford, and Nissan into four-wheel-drive vehicles. Founded in 1966 in Manchester, Pennsylvania, the company has produced 15,000+ 4x4 conversions since the first unit was built on a Chevy Van in 1974, and operates from a 72,000 square-foot manufacturing facility on 11 acres. Core products are four conversion systems: GM full-size vans (Chevy Express, GMC Savana) using a torsion-bar Independent Front Suspension with no ride-height increase; Ford Transit vans offering roughly 4 inches of additional ground clearance; Nissan NV vans with front locking differential IFS; and Ford E-Series E-350/E-450 cutaway chassis with manual lock-out hubs and 4Hi/4Low transfer cases. The portfolio is extended by the QLift 2-inch lift kit for Ford Transit, custom driveshafts manufactured in-house for Jeeps, light/medium duty trucks, and racing markets using a Haas CNC Lathe, specialty upfitting services, and branded accessories sold through the Quigley Shop e-commerce storefront. Quigley holds exclusive authorization under Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) program and is qualified for Ford MVE Ship Thru, GM Ship Through, Nissan approval, and Transport Canada certification, enabling conversions to retain OEM factory warranties and be serviced through dealer networks nationwide. The go-to-market is primarily sales-led through a toll-free line, direct sales representatives, authorized installer partners, and the Ford/GM dealer network, with brand presence at overland industry events (Adventure Van Expo, Overland Expo West) and the Unreal Adventure 2025 television series. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time hardware sales of conversion systems on customer or dealer-provided vehicles, supplemented by parts, accessories, professional installation, and warranty repair services at the Manchester facility. Customer bases include commercial fleets, government and emergency services (notably FedEx since 1988 and the National Science Foundation for Antarctic operations), people-mover operators at universities/airports/ski resorts, and adventure and overland enthusiasts.
