Others

• IMT (Iowa Mold Tooling): Primary crane and equipment supplier for Adkins, but also a direct competitor as IMT markets its own Dominator service bodies and integrated truck packages. Relevant as an ecosystem participant whose strategic posture (supply vs. compete) materially affects Adkins' go-to-market.
