Steel fabrication, truck body manufacturing, and industrial services
Riggs Industries operates a heavy manufacturing footprint—steel fabrication, dump truck bodies, and trailer production—anchored in CAD/CAM tooling (AutoCAD, Tekla, CNC). The company is mid-stage in manufacturing maturity: active projects target lean manufacturing, root cause analysis, and build consistency, while pain points surface cross-functional friction (inventory-to-sales alignment, field service process gaps). Hiring is decelerating but remains manufacturing-heavy, pointing to a company consolidating operations rather than expanding capacity.
Riggs Industries is a privately held industrial manufacturer based in Stoystown, Pennsylvania, founded in 1958. The company delivers steel fabrication and erection, bulk material handling systems, and custom manufacturing of dump truck bodies and trailers. Operations span field service, equipment design, and process piping. The 201–500 person workforce is concentrated in manufacturing and engineering roles, with active development in service delivery, quality improvement, and production efficiency.
Core tools: GMAW welding, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Tekla (3D structural modeling), CNC machining, and Viewpoint (likely operations/ERP). Microsoft Office and Outlook for administrative work.
Active projects include lean manufacturing, root cause analysis, field service process refinement, customer equipment training, and build consistency. Pain points center on inventory-sales alignment, estimate accuracy, and reducing rework.
