Mack celebrates 50 years at Hagerstown plant

HAGERSTOWN, MD -- Celebrations were held yesterday at the Mack powertrain plant built in 1961 in Hagerstown, MD in recognition of 50 years of operation.

“For half a century, the heart of every Mack truck has originated in Hagerstown,” said Kevin Flaherty, Mack senior vice president, U.S. and Canada.

In 1959 Mack decided to invest $45 million in a new one million square foot plant on 280 acres in Hagerstown. With construction complete, the first Mack engine rolled off the assembly line in 1961.
