Kenworth plant takes cabs higher, predicts healthy market
CHILLICOTHE, OH - Kenworth cabs are heading to new heights thanks to a second storey being added to a production facility in Chillicothe, Ohio. The $17-million building-on-building will soon hold painted parts like cabs and hoods, which to this point have been stored outside. Think of it as an automated vending machine for cabs, which are lifted into the space until being lowered back onto the line when they're needed. "That is to be commissioned in November to avoid another winter of having cabs in the snow," plant manager Judy McTigue said during a briefing to industry media today. "We'll have employees doing more value-added activity as opposed to tugging product around."
