Pafco Truck Bodies traces its beginnings to Ernst Pfaffmann, a wagon maker from Germany who came to the United States in 1929. After refining his craft for over fifteen years with another firm, Ernst went into business for himself. E. Pfaffmann Manufacturing Company was founded in 1946 as a manufacturer of commercial van bodies and component parts for the mining industry.

​The company continued to establish itself in the central Illinois market over the next 25 years. During this time, two of Ernst’s sons came to work for the Company. Max joined in 1964, followed by Robert in 1970. In 1971, the Company was incorporated as Pafco Truck Bodies Inc.

As Max and Robert assumed a leadership role, the Company’s focus gradually shifted from manufacturing all its own  product to distributing products from leading manufactures. The Pafco product line began to grow from van bodies to include service bodies, dump bodies, flat beds, cranes, liftgates, van equipment and tool boxes.

Today Pafco Truck Bodies Inc., is a solutions company in the truck equipment space that provides customers with quality products for their exact needs.
