The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers, meeting at the Las Vegas Hilton February 28-29, was founded in 1987 as the National Association of Livestock Trailer Manufacturers. Members soon realized that all trailer manufacturers share common concerns and problems, so in 1992 “livestock” was dropped and the name was changed to the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM). The Association represents manufacturers who produce light and medium duty trailers, and promotes, both to the industry and to the public, a universal recognition of safety and quality in the trailer manufacturing industry.
