History, Mission & Vision
  • 1936 - Orville Easton started Lancaster Automobile Spring Co. in a small facility in the City of Lancaster.
  • 1937 - Orville incorporated and moved to a larger facility. Orville’s primary business was the manufacture of automobile springs and “U” bolts.
  • 1942 - Richard Bomberger founded Lancaster Automobile Spring, Inc. His primary function was to expand the business. They started selling truck bodies and doing truck modifications such as: four man cabs, right hand driver, wheel base and frame alterations, extra axles, 4-wheel drive conversions, and custom bodies manufacturing. The increased business forced the company to move to a much larger facility on Manheim Pike.
  • 1972 - Ron Hill purchased the company from Orville Easton and Richard Bomberger. He sold the spring business to one of the employees. Also, he changed the company name to Lancaster Truck Bodies.
  • 1977 - Dick Toriello came to work for Lancaster Truck Bodies, and the company moved to its current location on Richardson Drive.
  • 1983 - Lancaster Truck Bodies opened its first branch location in Concordville, PA.
  • 1995 - The Kennett Square facility was purchased. 
  • 2007 - Lancaster AutomobileSpring Co., Inc. dba Lancaster Truck Bodies, has been purchased by Luis C. Torres, President, and Maria H. DeFaria, Vice-President from Ronald C. Hill’s Trust, Scott Hill, Robyn Hill, and Richard Toriello, former President on August 21, 2007. Toriello will stay temporarily as an adviser to Torres and DeFaria.

    Luis Torres has been the Plant Manager for the last 20+ years and Maria DeFaria has been the Office Manager for almost 13 years. Together with the employees we feel we have a strong team to make this business  a success.
