American truck manufacturer Mack Trucks has announceD its plans to invest $26m for the renovation of its Macungie Cab & Vehicle Assembly facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, US.
Under the project, the manufacturer plans to significantly improve the plant's efficiency and deliver better quality trucks to Mack customers.
The project includes realignment of sub-assembly and material handling to increase efficiency and support main vehicle assembly lines.
Mack Trucks vice president and general manager Roger Johnston said the investment speaks to the company's commitment to operational excellence.
"Our highly engaged workforce will use these enhancements to take another step in our journey toward truly world-class manufacturing in Macungie," Johnston added.
The renovation project will also see implementation of new processes and installation of new equipment to improve the plant's post-production inspection and testing of completed vehicles.
