Mack Trucks inaugurates its new axle production line at Hagerstown plant

On October 13, 2015, Mack Trucks inaugurated its new axle line at the Hagerstown, Md., facility. The plant has been assembling Mack powertrain components since 1961.

The new line – which officially started axle production in July – is part of a $30 million investment which brought assembly of all Mack heavy duty drive axles and machining of Mack carrier housings to the plant. This allows the company to oversee the manufacturing process – from design to assembly, said officials.

In addition to adding drive axle operations to Hagerstown, the investment was used for upgrades to the engine assembly process and centralization of aftermarket core warehousing operations.

Here are photos from the event.
