Workhorse Custom Chassis announced it is planning to renovate a manufacturing plant in Hagerstown, Ind., to be the production facility for its new R Series diesel chassis. Hagerstown is approximately 35 miles southwest of Workhorse's present Union City facility in east central Indiana. "With the assistance of local government entities, we will be renovating the former Dana manufacturing plant into a world-class operation, akin to what Workhorse has achieved in Union City," said Workhorse president Tom Frey. "The new positions at the Hagerstown facility will be in addition to our present staff," Frey continued. "In Hagerstown we will be able to customize our production line for the special requirements of the R Series, ensuring we will meet optimum standards of quality and productivity, while avoiding any interruptions in the supply of our gasoline P and W Series products." "Workhorse is emerging as the new RV "Class A" market share leader, a feat accomplished in under four years. This success is due, in part, to the dedication and commitment of our Union City workforce. We expect to draw our R Series employees from the same area and achieve the same success." "This is another exciting development in the dynamic growth of our company, and comes on the heels of the tremendous success of our RV gasoline product line. We know consumers, dealers and OEMs are eagerly awaiting the introduction of our R Series chassis and this new facility brings us closer to supplying the growing diesel motor home market, which right now comprises 40 percent of the Class A motor home market." "So we are on the verge of supplying the entire Class A motor home market with a comprehensive array of new and exciting choices, positioning us to very ably serve the RV industry for many years to come," Frey concluded. Specializing in the manufacture of chassis for motor homes, walk-in trucks and buses, as well as integrated walk-in trucks, Workhorse Custom Chassis is ISO 9001 certified.
