National Trucks Manufacturers (NTM) was originally established in 1975 by The Federal Government of Nigeria through a joint venture agreement with FIAT IVECO of ITALY for progressive assembly and manufacturing of Trucks and Tractors. National Trucks Manufacturers Ltd began full operation of the assembly of trucks & agricultural tractors in 1980.The company unfortunately shut down operations in 1987 due to unfavorable economic conditions. As a part of Federal Governments’ privatization policy, the company was privatized in December 2002 and handed over to the new promoters - ART ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION LTD (a part of the ART GROUP) in June 2003, who now own majority shareholding of the company. After acquiring the unit, NTM has tied with leading vehicle manufacturers for different types of vehicles and has entered into agreements with these leading vehicle manufacturing companies for providing the necessary technical support towards assembly, manufacturing, sales & servicing of these vehicles as well as training of our employees.
