Mack Trucks is laying off hundreds of workers at Lehigh Valley factory amid uncertainty and Trump’s tariffs
The layoffs could affect about 10% of the company’s 3,050 employees at its facility in Macungie.Mack Trucks will lay off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lehigh Valley factory in the next three months, the company said, citing economic uncertainty and tariffs.
“Heavy-duty truck orders continue to be negatively affected by market uncertainty about freight rates and demand, possible regulatory changes, and the impact of tariffs,” Mack spokesperson Kimberly Pupillo said in a statement.
The layoffs could affect about 10% of the company’s 3,050 employees at its Lehigh Valley Operations facility in Macungie, where workers assemble Class 8 Mack trucks for North American and export markets. “We regret having to take this action, but we need to align production with reduced demand for our vehicles,” Pupillo said.
