Daimler Closes Portland Plant Early | Portland News
Description
Daimler Truck North America is speeding up the shutdown of its Portland plant, closing operations by October 30th—three months ahead of schedule—and laying off 387 workers. While a small team will remain through December to wrap up logistics, the move signals a major shift: truck production is relocating to facilities in North and South Carolina, though Portland will keep its headquarters. Employees across production, logistics, and office roles—including most union members—are affected as the company consolidates its manufacturing footprint with a focus on responsible transition.
