Inspection System Improves Diesel Assembly: Flexible Plant Assembles V-6 Diesels
In addition to its Indianapolis facility, International Truck and Engine Corp. (Warrenville, IL) operates engine assembly plants in Melrose Park, IL, and Huntsville, AL. The later facility is the company's newest plant.
International purchased the 700,000-square-foot building from Onan Corp., a subsidiary of Cummins Inc. (Columbus, IN), in 1999. "The facility was gutted down to a dirt floor and built into what we believe to be a new standard for engine manufacturing anywhere in the world," says Donna Miller, plant manager.
