Mack Trucks to Launch New Medium-Duty Product Line in Roanoke County



Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has announced that Mack Trucks will invest $13 million to establish a manufacturing operation in Roanoke County, creating 250 new jobs. The new venture will allow Mack to produce and sell a new line of medium-duty trucks. Virginia successfully competed with sites in several other states for the project.

"Landing Mack Trucks' new medium-duty truck production plant is a tremendous win that builds on our efforts to make Virginia a leader in automotive manufacturing," said Gov. Northam. "Virginia has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with the Volvo Group, which includes Mack, and we are confident that the company will be a valuable addition to Roanoke County and the entire Commonwealth."

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Roanoke County and the Roanoke Regional Partnership to secure the project for Virginia. Gov. Northam approved a $700,000 grant from the Commonwealth's Opportunity Fund to assist Roanoke County with the project. Funding and services to support Mack's employee training activities will also be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.

"We are excited about the opportunities our new medium-duty product line will bring for the company, our employees and the Roanoke Valley community," said Mack President Martin Weissburg. "We are very grateful to the Commonwealth of Virginia and Roanoke County for their support of this project, and we look forward to growing this new business, and being a successful and engaged corporate citizen."

"We are honored that Mack Trucks has chosen to launch its newest product line in Virginia, and we're committed to supporting the success of this major business venture in Roanoke County," said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. "Mack will benefit from our robust manufacturing workforce trained by Virginia's top-ranked educational institutions and industry-led engineering programs as it ramps up."
