Devere Truck Beds, previously known as Economy Manufacturing, specializes in creating custom work truck beds tailored to meet the specific needs of their customers. The company believes that customers choose their products because they need a solution that fits their work requirements, rather than one that forces them to adapt to a standard design. Their motto, “Making your Work Truck work for you,” reflects this philosophy.

When a customer places an order for a custom bed, Devere Truck Beds takes the time to fully understand the task and specific requirements of the job. This information is then passed to their engineering team, who designs a solution that best meets those needs. The company’s commitment to creating efficient and effective products ensures that the beds are fit for purpose and tailored to the customer’s unique requirements.

Due to their focus on custom beds, Devere Truck Beds can produce them efficiently with shorter lead times, typically no longer than six weeks, while maintaining competitive pricing. Many customers note that Devere is the only manufacturer that produces truck beds to such specific, customer-driven requirements, setting the company apart from competitors in the industry.

Devere Truck Beds, originally founded as Economy Manufacturing in 1930 in Sedan, Kansas, began by producing a variety of products, including work truck beds. Over the years, the company earned a strong reputation for delivering high-quality custom products to local farmers and oil companies, building a solid foundation in the region.

As the business grew, Economy Manufacturing expanded its product offerings to include landscape and dump bodies, further extending its reach across much of the Great Plains. By the end of 2022, the company decided to focus solely on its work-truck business, selling or discontinuing its non-work truck products in order to streamline its operations.

In 2023, the work-truck division was acquired by Nebico Manufacturing Co. LLC, with plans to expand the brand’s reach across the Midwest and beyond. The acquisition brought in experienced management to enhance product offerings and better meet the needs of customers, marking a new chapter in Devere Truck Beds’ growth and evolution.

In January 2025, Economy Manufacturing will change its name to Devere Truck Beds to better reflect the high quality of its products as it expands into new markets. Although the company has a strong reputation among its existing customers, the name change aims to eliminate any confusion and emphasize the superior quality of its work truck beds. This decision is based on feedback from loyal customers, ensuring that the brand’s excellence is clear to both current and potential clients, aligning with the company’s continued growth and commitment to providing top-tier custom truck beds.
