In 1972 Masterack was purchased by their raw wire supplier, Leggett & Platt, Inc. The renewed financial backing of L&P enabled the company to expand the truck equipment business beyond the local telephone company. The ladder racks and “KD” shelving packages appeared in service vehicles all over the country.
The next three decades saw rapid change and growth at Masterack. The company began installing van interiors and pickup caps at a facility down the street from the manufacturing plant, and then opened new facilities around the country to provide nationwide ship-through installation. The manufacturing plant was constantly upgraded and expanded to 402,000 square feet, and an 80,000 square foot warehouse facility was added. As the telephone industry grew, Masterack ventured into mobile power units, creating the Powermaster™ delivery system for underground utility construction. Now manufactured by Team Fenex, the modular system is designed for use in vans, trucks and trailers.
