What Wright Industries does

Wright Industries is a specialty vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Goshen, Indiana, designing and producing ambulances, emergency response vehicles, and commercial vehicle platforms. The company serves emergency medical service providers, emergency response agencies, and commercial fleet operators who require durable, high-performance specialty vehicles built in the United States, with pricing and product details not publicly disclosed.

The company's revenue model is hardware sales of specialty vehicles, distributed primarily through authorized dealer networks. Model 1 Commercial Vehicles was named in October 2025 as the first nationwide authorized dealer for Wright Industries' new ambulance line, with production based in Indiana serving US-wide distribution. Wright Industries also offers commercial vehicle platforms that serve as the foundation for additional specialty vehicle applications, and its customer segmentation is organized vertically by use case (EMS and commercial fleet).

Beyond its core vehicle business, Wright Industries has expanded into adjacent manufacturing: in August 2025 it acquired Exception PCB Ltd, a UK-based printed circuit board manufacturer serving defense and aerospace sectors. In February 2026, Brinkley Asset Management made a strategic investment to support continued expansion, product development, and operational scaling. The company operates with 1001-5000 employees and has been in business since 1945.
