Navistar Launches Build of San Antonio Factory
Navistar International Corporation held a virtual groundbreaking Thursday for its 900,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in San Antonio. The new facility, with costs projected at $250 million, is planned to incorporate the latest manufacturing principles.
Thursday’s ceremony included officials from San Antonio and Bexar County, along with Gov. Greg Abbott and Navistar executives. “This groundbreaking ceremony marks a milestone for us in the development of our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility,” said Navistar CEO Troy A. Clarke.
He added, “We are excited to become part of the San Antonio community and we’re confident this facility will reinforce Navistar’s gains in the marketplace.”
The new facility, which is slated to come on line in 2022, is a key component to the company’s “Navistar 4.0” growth strategy. The location of the San Antonio plant allows for significant logistics improvements and a consolidation of the company’s supply base, according to Navistar.
