We Are La Boit

Gil Blais, President and Founder of La Boit Specialty Vehicles Inc., worked as a sales rep at a pharmaceutical company for many years and was continuously approached by veterinarians to create a product they desperately needed…storage for their vehicles so they could be organized when arriving at farm calls. Gil designed and constructed by hand, the first of several different products for the equine industry.

Once other veterinarians saw the product, orders began to roll in so fast; Gil quit his pharmaceutical job, enlisted the help of his young sons, and began the task of building what is now known worldwide as La Boit Specialty Vehicles Inc.

Our first Mobile Veterinary Clinic

After years of providing products to the equine industry, Gil realized small animal veterinarians needed a better means to practice as well: “Build me a solid, commercially built vehicle that could provide house call services for my community.” They spoke, Gil listened and La Boit started manufacturing mobile veterinary and spay/neuter clinics ranging from 24’ –40’ in length. The vets applauded and business grew rapidly. Someone finally was building a quality, commercially-built vehicle designed to handle the rigors of daily use, instead of converting an RV that is designed for occasional recreational purposes. Someone was finally listening.

Expanding to Mobile Medical & Dental Clinics

Gil's vision grew when dentists and medical doctors began to call and request La Boit Specialty Vehicles to build sturdy vehicles for them as well. Gil drew up the plans and the first 35’ dental clinic was the star of the Chicago Mid Winter Dental Conference. There was no turning back. Orders poured in from dentists & health departments across the country. La Boit expanded its facility & hired more employees to keep up with demand.
