Matthews Specialty Vehicles

Matthews Specialty Vehicles embodies a legacy of excellence! Established by Robert E. and Justine Matthews, Matthews Buses, Inc. originated almost five decades ago as an authorized distributor for the Thomas Built Bus in upstate New York. Bob's commitment to durability, reliability, and safety became the cornerstone of the Matthews brand. Robert went above and beyond, even personally flying customers to the factory to showcase the distinctiveness of Thomas Built Buses. His tenacity, strong character, and amiable nature laid the foundation for this remarkable company. In collaboration with Thomas Built Buses, Matthews entered the custom conversion business in 1992, rapidly earning a reputation for top-quality craftsmanship and reliability. This success led to Matthews becoming the exclusive manufacturer of custom specialty vehicles for Thomas Built Buses. After nearly a decade of an exclusive partnership, Matthews expanded its offerings to include conversions on various chassis platforms like Freightliner, Ford, Mercedes, and more. Today, Brad Matthews, son of founders Robert E. and Justine Matthews, serves as the owner and President, steering the company to become a premier global specialty vehicle manufacturer. The Matthews campus, headquartered in Greensboro, NC, houses a united team dedicated to designing, engineering, manufacturing, and providing parts and product support. Our committed team utilizes only state-of-the-art technologies to create the most durable, reliable, and robust specialty vehicles on the market. The enduring success of Matthews stems from a fundamental core value inherited from Robert Matthews, echoing in every facet of the company's operations: "Any Job Big or Small, Do it Right, or Not at All!" This value ensures dependable service. At Matthews, we understand that customer satisfaction arises from meticulous planning, making and fulfilling promises, surpassing expectations, and consistently delivering reliable and predictable service!
