(CHICAGO TRIBUNE) Navistar International Corp. said Tuesday it intends to close a truck manufacturing plant in Garland, Texas, by the first half of 2013 as part of its efforts to cut costs.
Rep. Steve Austria said some of those jobs will move to Navistar’s Springfield plant, which employs about 850 people.
The company hired new workers for the first time in Springfield in more than a decade this year, and local leaders believe the plant was positioned to receive more work when it becomes available.
Navistar has about 900 salaried, hourly and third-party temporary workers at the Garland facility. Production will be moved to other North America plants that build similar models beginning in January 2013.
