Daimler Truck North America has closed its Swan Island manufacturing plant, ending decades of truck assembly in Portland. Approximately 387 Oregon workers have lost their positions as production shifts to North Carolina and South Carolina. The company cited a need to consolidate its manufacturing network and align operations with future business requirements. While commercial truck assembly is moving, Daimler's North American headquarters and engineering operations will remain in Portland. The closure marks the end of 57 years of operation at the Swan Island factory.
