“We have been working in this facility for more than a year,” said Servidoni, “and the whole team has been brave to stay on during the pandemic, without stopping this plant for one single day, just to be ready.” Mack Trucks Vice President Jonathan Randall called the plant “a great central location, already within our manufacturing footprint along the I-81 corridor. Our suppliers are already coming through there, so it made a lot of sense.”
