Mack engines are designed and manufactured at the company’s 1.5 million-square-foot facility in Hagerstown, Md. The TC15 transfer case, rear engine power take-off and Mack Maxitorque ES T300 series transmissions are also produced there.

As a result of this project, Mack switched entirely from brazed to HIP-bonded lifters. The company also instituted manufacturing controls to ensure proper thickness of the carbide layer on the HIP-bonded lifters. This dramatically improved powertrains reliability, which led to savings in warranty costs, an improved market share and the creation of new jobs in Hagerstown.


Mack Trucks in Hagerstown is now Volvo Powertrain North America, a division of Volvo.

We believe that this has already started to contribute to our recent increase in market share, and expect it to be an important factor in further increases.

Technologies:

Biotechnology / Genetic Engineering

Martek (now part of Royal DSM) was a leader in the innovation, development, production and sale of high-value products from microbial sources that promote health and wellness through nutrition. Martek’s technology platform consised of its core expertise, broad experience and proprietary technology in areas such as microbial biology, algal genomics, fermentation and downstream processing. This technology platform resulted in Martek’s development of a number of products, including the company’s flagship product, life’sDHA™, a sustainable and vegetarian source of algal DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) important for brain, heart and eye health throughout life—for use in infant formula, pregnancy and nursing products, foods and beverages, dietary supplements and animal feeds. Martek also produced life’sARA™ (arachidonic acid), an omega-6 fatty acid, for use in infant formula and follow-on formulas.
