Hagerstown plant will be affected
Frederick, Md. (DG) – Volvo Group has announced plans to lay off between 550 and 800 workers across three of its U.S. facilities over the next three months.
The affected sites include the Mack Trucks plant in Pennsylvania, as well as Volvo Group facilities in Dublin, Virginia, and Hagerstown, Maryland. The company attributes these layoffs to declining demand and market uncertainty due to the recent trade tariffs.
The company says these measures have increased manufacturing costs and reduced vehicle demand, impacting the automotive and heavy-duty truck sectors. Volvo Group employs nearly 20,000 people in North America.
