Case New Holland’s manufacturing plant in Saskatoon will get new jobs and investment as part of a corporate restructuring.
The corporation says 130 new workers will be needed for the expansion that should be in full production by the first quarter of 2008.
At a news conference Nov. 3, Saskatoon plant manager Brad Redekopp said the company would invest $10 million in plant upgrades. The plant now employs 650 workers.
Two plants in the United States will close as part of the corporation’s $123 million restructuring plan announced in late October. Some of the production will move to Saskatoon
Product lines moving to Saskatoon include disk harrows, field cultivators, primary tillage implements, crumblers and fertilizer equipment, 95 percent of which will be exported to the U.S. Midwest, Redekopp said.
As part of the restructuring, other CNH manufacturing operations will be relocated to Poland.
