kscarbel2 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Infoobras / January 15, 2016Navistar will invest US$15 million to construct a new 4,000,800 square meter parts logistics warehouse adjacent to its plant in Escobedo, Mexico.Completion is planned for July 2016.The truckmaker plans for the new facility, in the Vymnsa Industrial Park, to house 10 to 15 of its main suppliers within two years.The goal of the “One Roof” program is to reduce the plant’s lead time for parts as well as reduce logistics costs.Around 300 new jobs are expected to be created at Navistar, and up to 500 jobs at related suppliers.The production model envisioned by Navistar will allow the truckmaker to offer lower pricing, resulting in stronger heavy truck sales in Mexico.Since last summer, Navistar’s Escobedo plant has been producing all versions of its International brand class 8 trucks.
