About Miller Industries INC

Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) is a U.S.-based industrial company focused on towing, recovery, and car-carrier equipment. Incorporated in Tennessee and headquartered in Ooltewah, near Chattanooga, in the United States, the company describes itself as the world’s largest manufacturer of towing and recovery equipment. Its business is built on a specialized industrial niche where engineering know-how, durability, safety, and aftermarket support matter as much as scale. Miller serves professional towing operators, recovery fleets, body builders, distributors, and selected government and military customers.

Miller’s 2024 annual report highlights the Holmes® and Century® brands, which are associated with several notable industry innovations, including the rapid reverse winch, the tow sling, the hydraulic lifting mechanism, and the underlift with parallel linkage and L-arms. That innovation-led legacy has helped the company build a durable reputation in a highly specialized market where reliability and operational uptime are critical.

It operates manufacturing facilities in the United States, including Tennessee and Pennsylvania, as well as foreign manufacturing operations in France and the United Kingdom. This geographic footprint gives the company access to both North American and international markets, while also providing some manufacturing and sourcing flexibility.

Barriers to entry include engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities, customer relationships, service infrastructure, and compliance requirements. The company also benefits from a diversified distributor network, which reduces reliance on any single channel partner. In practical terms, that makes Miller a specialized industrial franchise with recurring demand tied to vehicle miles traveled, roadside incidents, fleet replacement cycles, and broader transportation activity.

In March 2026, Miller reported full-year 2025 results and said it had completed the acquisition of Omars to expand its European footprint. The company also disclosed more than $150 million in global military commitments for heavy-duty recovery products, with production expected to begin in 2027 and most revenue anticipated in 2028 and 2029. Management additionally approved a capacity expansion at the Ooltewah facility and raised the quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.21 per share. Taken together, these updates point to a strategy of international expansion, capacity investment, and shareholder returns.
