SAF-Holland announced that it is expanding its operations in Dumas, Arkansas. As part of the expansion, the company will open a new facility in the old Federal-Mogul building.

SAF-Holland has increased its Dumas staff by over 40%, creating 60 new jobs to date with plans to end up at approximately 65 total new positions. As budgeted it will invest approx. $4 million in the facility for additional manufacturing/warehousing space, paint line, robotic welding cells and other new technology and equipment. SAF-Holland currently employs 143 people in Dumas, where it manufactures trailer suspension and axle systems for commercial vehicles including Wabash National and Great Dane trailers.
