What Diamatrix does

Diamatrix is a private holding company headquartered in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, that aggregates three North American commercial trailer and chassis manufacturers under a common corporate structure. The three wholly-owned subsidiaries are Strick (founded 1937, Monroe, Indiana), which produces custom dry freight semi-trailers engineered to lower repair costs and reduce downtime; Cheetah Chassis (Berwick, Pennsylvania), which manufactures intermodal container chassis, specialized flatbed trailers, detachable gooseneck trailers, and custom ISO-compliant chassis from a precision automated manufacturing facility; and Evans Trailers (founded 1919, Sumter, South Carolina), which builds custom industrial trailers for the logging, construction, and utility sectors, including logging trailers, flatbeds, lowboy construction trailers, underground utility/reel trailers, and specialty products such as the PX2 Concrete Panel Trailer.

The company's core technology is conventional mechanical engineering and metal fabrication, with notable proprietary elements including weight distribution optimization in chassis design, customization-led dry van engineering, and a precision automated manufacturing line for ISO container chassis at the Berwick facility. Products are predominantly custom-configured to buyer specifications, supported by in-house design and engineering teams and an aftermarket replacement-parts and service layer attached to each brand.

Diamatrix generates revenue through direct hardware sales of new trailers and chassis, channeled through three brand-aligned authorized dealer networks covering Eastern US through Western Canada. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, varying with customization and specification. End-customer segments are diversified across trucking and freight operators (Strick), large global shipping lines (Cheetah), and vertical industrial buyers in logging, construction, and utilities (Evans). Public financial, ownership, and management information is limited: the company discloses no revenue, no funding history, no institutional investors, and no leadership roster, consistent with a closely-held private holding entity.
