TruckVault recently became Shenandoah County's newest manufacturer after it purchased the old One Stop Deli building in Mount Jackson’s industrial district.

The Washington State-based company producing armored drawers for trucks and SUVs is now open for business, according to Northern Virginia Daily.

Patrick Garrett, TruckVault's general manager, said the firm has spent nearly $1.5 million to get the plant up and running and hired Rhodenizer Construction to help convert the space to fit its needs.

TruckVault CEO Al Chandler said the partnership with Mount Jackson was unexpected but has been welcome. The partnership took place after TruckVault approached the state of Virginia, and the results trickled down to Shenandoah County. Chandler said he was grateful for Mount Jackson's willingness to welcome his company and thanked the town by outfitting two vehicles with complementary TruckVault equipment.

"It's self-serving to a degree," Chandler told the newspaper about the donation. "We wanted to have some vehicles with product in it for this event. At the same time, they’re part of our community, so why not?"

In its beginning stages, about 10 employees are constructing truck vaults. Garrett said he expects that number to grow over the next year. The company's Washington facility has about 45 employees, he said.

Chandler said TruckVault wanted to come to Virginia to expand its operations and to be closer to many of its customers. Major hubs such as Philadelphia, Boston and Washington D.C., are more accessible now because of the plant.

Chandler envisions a large market within the state and its surrounding areas and says he thinks the plant will become a major producer.
