"This increase in production capacity means that over 50% of our North American machine supply can be built here in Shippensburg, resulting in shorter lead times while also creating opportunities for supplier growth," said Scott Young, head of Region North America at Volvo CE.

Alongside the expansion, the Swedish equipment manufacturer will be modernizing the Pennsylvania factory. These upgrades include the installation of new assembly lines, integration of automation, and training workers to prepare them for the expanded production.
