Obsidian Enterprises Inc has acquired Classic Mfg Inc, a Michigan-based manufacturer of open and enclosed trailers.

Classic produces commercial, racing, and recreational trailers under the Classic Trailers brand identification. Founded in 1964, the firm manufactures cargo, fifthwheel, gooseneck, motorcycle, race, snowmobile, and stacker/lift trailers as well as aluminum trailers and camper and bike packages. Its open trailers are also used in the landscaping industry.

Based in Sturgis MI, Classic will also begin manufacturing out of other facilities this summer. The current 63,220-square-foot facility serves the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast, among other regions in the United States and Canada. The new Lewisville TX facility will help meet the needs of dealers and customers in the western and southwestern United States.

Current co-owners Brad Baker and Wade Wolf will continue to serve as chief executive officer and president, respectively.
