Elysburg, PA

Trailer manufacturer Great Dane announced plans to reduce staffing at its Elysburg, Pennsylvania plant early next year due to weak market demand and a prolonged freight recession. The company said operations will be scaled back at plants most impacted by economic conditions and that approximately 164 employees — including direct laborers, indirect staff, and salaried personnel — at the Elysburg facility are expected to be affected. Great Dane described the reductions as temporary and said it hopes to recall workers when freight demand improves, while noting continued macroeconomic uncertainty. The move is part of a broader effort to align production capacity with current freight demand amid nationwide pressure on the logistics and transportation sectors.
