The end of 2015 marks the 35th anniversary of Peterbilt Motors Co.‘s Denton, Texas plant, which produced its first truck in 1980.
“The value Peterbilt’s Denton plant has brought through the years to the company, our employees, customers, dealers and the community is immeasurable,” said Darrin Siver, a Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “The Denton plant is a premier manufacturing facility across any industry and we continue to invest in the tools, processes and people that keep it state-of-the-art.”
Today, the 455,000 sq.-ft. plant (pictured above) employs 2,000 workers and manufactures more than 160 trucks a day, and is currently expanding. The plant has become a flagship location for the Texas-based company.
“The Peterbilt Denton plant is one of the strongest selling tools we have,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager of sales and marketing. “Thousands tour the plant every year, and it’s a great way to showcase our product quality, customization and technology. The Peterbilt Experience is a great addition to the facility and gives visitors a unique opportunity to experience Peterbilt’s products and the company’s history.”
