Great Dane Trailers plans to add 100 new production jobs at its Brazil IN manufacturing site in the coming weeks. In response to increased demand, Great Dane expects to boost total output of dry freight van trailers in Brazil to 250 per week, dictating the payroll expansion.

Bernie Buttram, plant manager at the Brazil manufacturing facility, said, “Trailer orders are strong, especially in the dry van product line. In manufacturing, and particularly in the trailer business, employees are our greatest asset, so we are confident in adding to our workforce at this time.”
