For over 60 years, Dexter has explicitly curated a number of industry-leading brands to fuel our growth, expand our product portfolio, and better support our customers across the globe. Explore our various brands and their offerings below.
Dexter® is owned by DexKo Global, which was formed in 2015 by combining Dexter and AL-KO VT. This combination created a global leader in highly engineered trailer running gear components and systems, with over 130 years of trailer and caravan componentry experience. DexKo Global is managed out of Novi, Michigan by a strategic staff focused on leveraging the resources of the combined companies. With enhanced scale, operating leverage, capital efficiencies, and diversity, DexKo delivers market leadership in product development and innovation, as well as exceptional customer service, increased manufacturing flexibility, and great efficiency through global sourcing.
During our past several years, our steady growth has added new teammates, new customers, and new product offerings. To reduce the complexity of Dexter’s brand portfolio, we have rebranded our Rockwell American and Redneck Trailer Parts distribution together under the Dexter brand.
