CNH To Close Georgia Plant

CNH Industrial N.V. announced in late June that it will close its construction equipment assembly plant in Calhoun, GA, in the third quarter of 2015.

The closure is necessary as the company adjusts its construction operations based on current volume and market demand, said CNH Industrial, the manufacturer of such brands as Case and New Holland. The move, it adds, is consistent with the company’s long-term strategy and provides the best options for meeting its current and future business needs.

The company informed its workforce during a meeting at the plant on the same day it announced the closure to the public. Approximately 120 employees will be affected.

CNH Industrial N.V. is the parent company of such brands as Case IH, New Holland Agriculture, New Holland Construction, Iveco Astra, Iveco Bus, Heuliez Bus, Madirus, FPT Industrial and Steyr. S
