“This facility represents a long-term investment in Georgia and in the people who build our trucks,” said John Babcock, Chief Executive Officer of Satellite Industries. “We chose to continue to grow here because this community is part of who we are, and the craftsmanship our teams bring is essential to delivering the quality our customers expect.”

The Dahlonega facility brings fabrication, welding, assembly, upfitting, and quality control together under one roof, enhancing visibility across the build process and enabling more dependable outcomes. This vertically integrated approach supports standardized and custom truck configurations while preserving flexibility to meet evolving customer and industry needs.
For customers, that means more consistent builds, faster delivery, and improved access to high-demand vacuum trucks. As production ramps up, Satellite said it will continue a disciplined approach to growth to preserve performance, quality, and reliability.

The site improves regional inventory access, gives customers firsthand opportunities to evaluate products, and strengthens Satellite’s ability to stage and distribute complementary portable sanitation solutions worldwide. Together, these capabilities are said to help customers make more informed equipment decisions and improve access to products, parts, and support.
Beyond operations, this investment brings new opportunities to northern Georgia by supporting skilled manufacturing careers and contributing to the region’s ongoing economic growth.
“This facility is about more than production,” Brooks added. “It reflects our investment in the people, skills, and community that support our business and our customers for the long term.”
