Abstract:

Thomas Built Buses, Inc., started in High Point in 1916 as a maker of streetcars. In 1936, the company began building buses and today is the world's largest school bus manufacturer. In August 2004, the company opened a new, $39.7 million plant. When operating at full capacity in 2005, experts expect it to produce about forty-four school buses a day.
