Sage Mfg announced its formation as the parent company of Sage Oil Vac, Amarillo Tanks and the newly launched Amarillo Upfitters, creating a unified organization focused on building innovative products that improve how work gets done across North America.
The formation of Sage Mfg reflects the company's growth from a single-product manufacturer into a diversified portfolio of businesses serving customers in construction, agriculture, mining, transportation, energy and industrial markets.
The launch coincides with a significant investment in the company's future. Sage Mfg. has opened a new 20-acre headquarters and manufacturing campus in Amarillo, representing an estimated $21-million investment in facilities and infrastructure.
"Sage Mfg represents the next step in our evolution," said Aaron Sage, CEO of Sage Mfg and second-generation owner. "We've grown beyond the single company my father founded, now becoming a family of businesses that share a common purpose: helping hardworking people do their jobs more efficiently, more safely and more profitably."
Sage Oil Vac is a manufacturer of mobile lube equipment and preventive maintenance solutions used by fleets and heavy equipment operators throughout the world. Known for cleaner, safer, faster and more efficient fluid exchange systems, Sage Oil Vac continues to set the standard for equipment maintenance innovation, according to the company.
Amarillo Tanks, acquired as Willborn Brothers in 2021, manufactures steel tanks and related products for commercial, industrial and energy applications. The company expanded Sage Mfg's manufacturing capabilities while strengthening vertical integration across the organization.
Created to meet growing demand for smarter, safer and more application-specific service vehicles, Amarillo Upfitters is a new vocational truck upfitting company built for contractors, municipalities, utilities and fleet operators whose work depends on trucks that perform, according to Sage Mfg.
While each of the three companies will continue operating under its own brand, Sage Mfg will provide strategic leadership, operational support and long-term investment across the portfolio, according to the comapny. Its new brand tagline, Manufacturing Better Ways to Get Work Done, carries forward a heritage of innovation, added Sage Mfg.
"Our goal is to build great companies that solve real-world problems," said Sage. "Whether we're developing maintenance equipment, manufacturing tanks or delivering custom upfitting solutions, we're focused on building the companies that build what's next."
