Right now, they are setting up a transmission assembly line in the Hagerstown, Md facility, they are going gangbusters in Shippensburg at the construction equipment facility.
We are contracting many U.S suppliers right now.

Because negative stories sell papers.. No one wants to hear about a cat being rescued from a tree or Lassie saving Timmy who fell down a well again.

Yer right...good news seldom MAKES the news...I'm sincerely glad to hear Volvo is investing inside the US...makes me wanna go buy one...which leads me to believe Volvo is missing the boat by not publisizing their domestic growth...for some reason or other they are choosing not to...can't believe they've simply overlooked it...that's what corporations like Volvo have Public Relations Departments and contract advertising agencys is to make sure the news, good or bad gets handled properly...IMO, they're missing an opportunity...
