DexKo Global Inc., a trailer and RV component manufacturer based in Elkhart, Indiana, announced that its subsidiary Dexter Axle Company (Dexter) acquired Redneck Inc. and Redline Products, LLC.
The two companies, collectively “Redneck,” are headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, and supply trailer axles, chassis and other components to North American manufacturers, dealers and retail customers.
Redneck’s Chairman and CEO Ernie Giddens said, “We believe the future for Redneck, its customers and employees are in good hands with Dexter Axle.”

“Redneck has long supported the Dexter brand, and this acquisition provides an additional platform to offer our products to their customers,” said Adam Dexter, president and CEO of Dexter.
