Our History

In July of 1956 the concept for SCOTTY trailers began as a sketch a bed, sink, two-burner stove and dinette, all tucked into a trailer just 13 feet long - small enough to fit into the garages of the late 50s.
 
The idea was a hit and from 1956 through the late 80s, the focus of the business was on recreational vehicles.  In 1990, Anne Degre joined the business that her grandfather John Serro and father Joe Pirschl had started. Anne soon discovered a niche in the marketplace for what is now known as the SCOTTY Fire Safety House. A handful of fire departments had built their own fire safety houses; however, these departments found that most of their houses were too large and heavy to tow to schools or safety fairs. That's when SCOTTYS expertise at building quality, light-weight trailers came in to play.
 
Within a couple of years, stories began to pour in on how the SCOTTY Fire Safety House was saving lives through the hands-on training this educational fire safety tool provided.  
 
On April 17, 1997, the company's 45,000 square-foot factory burned to the ground. The family and employees who made SCOTTY trailers and recreational vehicles famous around the world knew of only one way to safely escape a fire: never give up. And on May 12, just 25 days after the fire, work benches were erected on bare concrete floors, power lines run, and a production line capable of finishing three trailers a week was established.
 
After the fire, the company's name was changed to Mobile Concepts by SCOTTY, and the business had a new, singular focus: designing and manufacturing custom commercial trailers.

Today, the company offers numerous products tailored to specific industry needs, including the Mobile Command, Fire Safety House, Sprinkler Demonstration Trailers, Prep House, Community Policing, or Custom Vehicles all with options that are only limited by the customers imagination.
 
The SCOTTY brand has been a trusted name for over five decades, and the SCOTTY dog emblem is still used, and it still stands for family, value and integrity.
