Ask our clients(under construction for 2008 release)

About 1.5 hours from Atlanta Ga. About 2 hours from Charlotte NC. About 30 minutes from Greenville SC. We are in Pickens SC on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains and the clear, clean, mountain water lakes of Keowee and Jocasse.

Due to a tremendous growth rate we have consolidated our consolidate all operations in our new pictured to the right.  Our primary production facility is at the entrance to the Great Smokey Mountains just off  "Golden Interstate 85", the home of BMW, Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter vans, Freightliner, Michelin and many other international automotive and electronic producers. Plan a family vacation around the pick-up of your new Hanvey Grooming Van. See vacation links lower on this page.

Visits are welcomed. Visits by appointment only.

"How many vans do you build?"

This is a common question.

Inside our facility we typically have six units in process each week and have existing additional space to expand our production up to 15 units on any given day.  At the current growth rate we are anticipating yet another mobile production expansion in 2008 that will require us to move production into the second half of the facility. The picture to the left is an early example of our production layout.  If you visit our facility, you will actually see the "in process units" separated into groups of two throughout this half of our facility to help us accommodate our addition of new builders to our construction teams in an effort to shortening our delivery times. 

The picture below is a snap shot of SOLD mobiles waiting in line to be built. Some mobile builders store stock or unsold units on their lot but due to the volume of our sales we require our van dealer to keep all unsold units on their lot.

On the day this picture was taken we had even more mobiles inside. We had two vans in spray-up, two vans in primary build and one trailer and one van being "roughed in" inside the building and two trailers waiting to be processed and one mini school  bus conversion in progress (visible outside).   You will also notice that 20-22 mpg Sprinter is the most common choice of grooming van. The new fresh design and the simple fact that it is a real, long life, low maintenance, tough Mercedes van with a Dodge label is one reason. The other reason.... the final cost of a loaded Hanvey Sprinter HGV is about the same as a WagnTails (TM) FORD Pro van comparably equipped.   Our prcing structure is part of the reason we have such a long line waiting to move into production. 

 One thing for sure, we are the world's largest builder of  Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter grooming vans.  Everyone else is still learning.
