Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is making a significant investment to expand production worldwide. In Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, Volvo CE will not only add crawler excavator production but also expand wheel loader production to include large wheel loaders. Currently, soil and asphalt compactors and mid-size wheel loaders are manufactured at the Shippensburg factory.
Updates will be made to the existing space within the factory to install assembly lines, integrate more automation technologies into the manufacturing process and train employees, with the goal to be production-ready in the first half of 2026.
Strategically enhancing production capacity and flexibility will allow the OEM to meet current and future customer demands more effectively, according to Melker Jernberg, Head of Volvo CE.
“We must respond to growing demand, and we’re excited to expand our facilities to serve our customers better,” says Jernberg. “This investment underscores our commitment to quality and innovation, allowing us to deliver even greater value.”
By expanding production capabilities in key markets, Volvo CE will reduce dependency on any single site and become less reliant on long-distance logistics.
