American Trailer World Expands Lavonia, Georgia, Manufacturing Hub

08/19/2021
American Trailer World has invested $20 million in expanding advanced manufacturing operations at its Carry-On TrailerTM facility in Lavonia, Georgia. The project is expected to create 225 jobs.

“We are thrilled to bring manufacturing jobs to the local community while also increasing production capacity to meet the unprecedented customer demand for Carry-On Trailer,” said Eric Blackwell, COO, American Trailer World. “On behalf of American Trailer World, I would like to thank the Georgia Department of Economic Development and Franklin County for their partnership in establishing a next-generation home for Carry-On Trailer.”

Located in Franklin County since 1996, Carry-On Trailer manufactures utility and specialty trailers for customers across the United States and Canada.

“Carry-On Trailer has had a strong relationship with the state and the people of Franklin County for more than 25 years,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Growing up in Franklin County myself, I know firsthand how important major employers like Carry-On can be to our local communities, and I thank Carry-On and our economic development partners for the opportunities they continue to create for Georgians.”

"The Authority is pleased and excited that Carry on Trailer continues to thrive in Franklin County,” said Director of the Franklin County Industrial Building Authority Tonya Powers and members of the Authority’s Board. “Its expansion, significant financial investment, and new job opportunities contribute greatly to the economy of both our county and our region.”
