Description: MLR Miller Industries December 26, 2025

Miller Industries Inc. (NYSE:MLR) designs, manufactures, and distributes a range of towing and recovery equipment, including wreckers, hydraulic-tilt car carriers, and multi-vehicle transport trailers, under brands such as Century, Vulcan, Challenger, and Titan. Its sales network relies on independent distributors across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as prime contractors serving government agencies.

Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of approximately $1.0 billion, an operating margin of 9.2 %, and a backlog of roughly $250 million, indicating a solid order pipeline despite a modest slowdown in new-vehicle production volumes.

The segment is sensitive to macro-drivers like construction-equipment spending cycles, fleet-renewal timing, and credit-cost environments; a 1 % rise in the U.S. prime rate historically depresses new-equipment orders by about 0.4 % in the towing-equipment market, while a rebound in auto-auction activity can boost trailer demand.
