Beginning in March, 146 workers will return to work at the company’s Waterloo Tractor Operations facility in Waterloo, Iowa.
They will support 8R production in assembly, machining, logistics, and foundry operations.
The manufacturer originally laid off employees because of lower demand.
But a reversal of that trend necessitates larger workforce.
“These callbacks at Waterloo Tractor Operations reflect the production needs driven by increased customer demand. We’re excited to recall experienced employees to support our factories,” Fabio Castro, Waterloo Works vice president and factory manager,” said in a company statement.
