A family legacy built on craftsmanship, quality, and innovation since 1980!

Explorer Van Company began in 1980 when Bob and Steve Kesler turned a small business in Warsaw, Indiana into a custom van conversion company focused on quality, craftsmanship, and customer care. At a time when competitors rushed production, Explorer stood out by doing things the right way – with hand-crafted details and attention to what customers actually wanted. With early support form key dealers and partnerships with major automakers like GMC, Chevrolet, and Ford, the company quickly grew. Now three generations strong, Explorer continues to lead the industry with a dedicated team and a reputation built on integrity and excellence.

“When you look at an Explorer van, our craftsmanship and attention to detail make it the best value in the market”

– Steve Kesler, President – Explorer Van Company

What Sets Explorer Vans Apart?

Every Explorer Van is designed and built in-house, using high-grade materials and a deep commitment to detail. Whether you choose a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Metris platform, each conversion reflects the company’s philosophy: “We deliver more, not less, than we promise.”

Key Highlights:

• Hand-Crafted Quality: From custom-cut leather seating to molded panels and wood finishes, nearly every component is built by hand for a perfect fit.
• Safety First: All vans meet NTSA standards and are equipped with airbags, including side curtain airbags on most models.
• Personalized Fit & Finish: Customers can choose interior materials, seating layouts, entertainment upgrades, and more.
