The new facility will be home to Auto Truck Group’s manufacturing operations in the region, featuring more than 40 production bays, as well as additional office space and storage capacity. To further support its continued growth, the company plans to hire up to 50 additional technicians to staff its new location. The company will continue to operate at its existing manufacturing location in Fort Wayne until construction of the new facility is complete.
