Workhorse Custom
Chassis announced it is planning to renovate a manufacturing
plant in Hagerstown, Ind., to be the production facility for its new R
Series diesel chassis. Hagerstown is approximately 35 miles southwest
of Workhorse's present Union City facility in east central Indiana.
"With the assistance of local government entities, we will be
renovating the former Dana manufacturing plant into a world-class
operation, akin to what Workhorse has achieved in Union City," said
Workhorse president Tom Frey.
"The new positions at the Hagerstown facility will be in addition
to our present staff," Frey continued. "In Hagerstown we will be able
to customize our production line for the special requirements of the R
Series, ensuring we will meet optimum standards of quality and
productivity, while avoiding any interruptions in the supply of our
gasoline P and W Series products."
"Workhorse is emerging as the new RV "Class A" market share
leader, a feat accomplished in under four years. This success is due,
in part, to the dedication and commitment of our Union City workforce.
We expect to draw our R Series employees from the same area and
achieve the same success."
"This is another exciting development in the dynamic growth of our
company, and comes on the heels of the tremendous success of our RV
gasoline product line. We know consumers, dealers and OEMs are eagerly
awaiting the introduction of our R Series chassis and this new
facility brings us closer to supplying the growing diesel motor home
market, which right now comprises 40 percent of the Class A motor home
market."
"So we are on the verge of supplying the entire Class A motor home
market with a comprehensive array of new and exciting choices,
positioning us to very ably serve the RV industry for many years to
come," Frey concluded.
