Mack Trucks Moving Production To Pennsylvania

Truck maker will move production of its highway truck line from Dublin, Va., to Macungie, Pa., to consolidate its operations.

DUBLIN, Va. (AP) -- Mack Trucks Inc. will move production of its highway truck line from Pulaski County to Macungie, Pa.

Company officials on Thursday announced the transfer to consolidate its operations. It will begin in September.

Officials say the move will result in job losses at the Dublin plant, but that it's too early to say how many.

The plant will continue to produce Volvo Trucks North America's entire product line.

Plant officials said earlier this year that 1,200 were working at the plant. Last year, a Mack Trucks spokesman had estimated transfer of its line would eliminate 200 jobs from a work force that then stood at 1,400.
