President Biden touts Buy American reform during Mack Trucks plant tour

July 30, 2021

President Joe Biden, on a tour of Mack Truck’s Lehigh Valley Operations (LVO) truck plant Wednesday, revealed proposed changes to the Buy American Act that would increase U.S. content in the products the federal government buys, thereby supporting the domestic production of goods.

Mack Trucks President Martin Weissburg noted that this week marks the 121st anniversary of Mack Trucks, “and we are very pleased to celebrate this milestone with the President.” The Volvo Group, which includes Mack Trucks, is the only heavy-duty truck manufacturing group to assemble all of its trucks exclusively in the U.S. for the U.S. market.
