Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is significantly expanding its U.S. footprint, resulting in more than 50 percent of its North American machine supply being produced at its Shippensburg, Pennsylvania facility. Less than a year after announcing plans to localize more machine assembly, the company is delivering its first American-built excavators and larger wheel loaders to customers. A total of 11 additional models will be produced in Shippensburg, shortening customer lead times by more than six weeks.
The expansion brings Volvo CE’s North American production portfolio to 30 machine models, including excavators, wheel loaders and compactors. With the most recent investment of $40 million, Volvo CE has invested over $1.4 billion since 2007 to triple its annual output capacity and build workforce skills to support growth and increased digitalization.
Volvo CE acquired the site and its road development division from Ingersoll Rand in 2007 and established its North American headquarters there in 2012. Currently, over 750 people are employed at the location.
