Mack and Volvo move in together in the US

Mack are to quit their long-time headquarters in Allentown, Pennsylvania to move their offices in with Volvo at their Group HQ at Greensboro, North Carolina.

In the US, the Mack organisation has been feircely independent keeping its distance in the public eye from owner Volvo. Meanwhile in the background many of the company’s functions have been integrated including the major Volvo/Mack engine plant and testing facilities at Hagerstown, Maryland.

In conjunction with this restructuring, an investment of about $57 million is planned to install a new engine block machining line at the Hagerstown powertrain facility. Manufacturing of all Mack trucks is to be concentrated in their main plant in Mcungie, Pennsylvania. Highway trucks are currently made in the Volvo plant in New River Valley, Virginia. All of the Volvo trucks will continue to be built in New River Valley.
