Oshkosh Truck Corp.'s board of directors will ask its shareholders to change the name of the company to Oshkosh Corp. at the firm's annual meeting in February.
In a document filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission Thursday, the company stated, "We are asking our shareholders to vote for the proposal to amend our restated articles of incorporation to change our corporate name from 'Oshkosh Truck Corporation' to 'Oshkosh Corporation.' It is our belief that the current name does not accurately reflect the breadth of our product lines. Removing the reference to any specific product in our corporate name will ensure our identification remains relevant as we continue to grow and diversify."
The bulk of the company's work has been manufacturing custom vehicles for the U.S. military.
The firm's annual meeting will take place Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 10 a.m. at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton at 400 W. College Ave.
