Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) plans to sharply increase production and employment levels at its Mount Holly NC truck manufacturing plant over the next three months.
The Mt Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant will add a third shift to its operations and plans to fill the additional 580 manufacturing and 25 related supervision, engineering, and administrative positions by mid-July. This plant manufactures Freightliner M2 Business Class medium-duty diesel and natural gas-powered trucks, as well as Freightliner’s line of 108SD and 114SD trucks built for severe-duty vocational markets.
More than 600 new employees will be added to the company’s payroll in Mt Holly to accommodate rising customer demand for the Business Class M2 line of medium- and severe-duty trucks. These positions will be in addition to the more than 2,300 positions filled in the company’s truck and parts facilities during 2014.
The company will recruit locally in Gaston County and the surrounding areas for new employees. Interested potential applicants are encouraged to contact the state employment office or access the www.ncworks.gov
