Constantly challengingindustry expectations.

Founded in 1993, ORO Design started its journey as engineering consultants specializing in support equipment for the Canadian mining industry. Finding a lack of quality manufacturers in the truck body space, it was almost impossible to bring these equipment designs to life that could withstand the harsh conditions of open pit mining.

Family-owned and operated, ORO Design built the first truck body in a residential garage over 25 years ago and transitioned from design and consulting to design and manufacturing, building the first dedicated 3,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Oro-Medonte, Ontario in 2001.

With quality, innovation and design at the forefront of every truck body built, and with customers like Toromont Cat, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and Canadian Royalties Inc. understanding the value of an ORO Truck body, ORO Design went through rapid growth phases for the next 2 decades, growing the manufacturing facilities to over 30,000 square feet with 45 employees and the second generation firmly rooted in leadership roles.

In April 2023, ORO Design & Manufacturing Ltd. was acquired by Drive Products, a Canadian company founded in 1983.
