Daimler Truck North America to Cut 375 Jobs as Portland Manufacturing Moves to Carolinas
NewsData.io · United States · Jul 30, 2026
Daimler Truck North America will relocate production from its Portland, Oregon facility to plants in North Carolina and South Carolina, eliminating approximately 375 positions. The move signals continued manufacturing sector contraction in the Portland market, reducing the local labor pool and potentially affecting regional staffing agencies that serve industrial and manufacturing clients. Staffing firms with Portland-area accounts should anticipate reduced placement volume in the manufacturing segment while monitoring potential hiring activity in the Carolinas.
