Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. rolled off its 100,000th chassis from the company's Gaffney, S.C., assembly line during a celebration event on Oct. 23, 2003.
"This is a momentous occasion for us," said FCCC President Jack Conlan. "This achievement speaks highly of our quality, our reliability and our customer loyalty."
The event was attended by South Carolina and local officials, employees and customers. It featured a parade of FCCC products, plant tours and other ceremonies.
Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. manufactures chassis for the motorhome, walk-in van, school bus and shuttle bus markets. The facility also assembles the Sprinter van for Freightliner and Dodge.
The Gaffney plant, which currently employs more than 800 people and has 255,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space, was purchased by Freightliner from Oshkosh Truck Corp. in 1995.
