Oshkosh Corp. on Tuesday said it will open a dedicated plant in
Spartanburg, S.C., to build the next generation of delivery
vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service under its multi-billion-dollar
contract with the agency.
The Oshkosh, Wis., maker of specialty vehicles said it plans to
hire more than 1,000 workers at the plant, adding that it expects
its on-site supply-chain partners will have additional hiring
needs.
The USPS in February awarded Oshkosh a 10-year contract to
supply up to 165,000 new right-hand-drive vehicles for mail and
package delivery, wrapping up a competitive bidding process that
began in 2015.
Oshkosh said it plans to repurpose a warehouse facility in
Spartanburg to accommodate the manufacturing operation, with
production slated to begin in summer 2023.
