New Way Trucks to expand in Mississippi

Recycling and refuse equipment manufacturer New Way Trucks is increasing production capacity in Booneville, Miss. The $4 million project is expected to create at least 120 jobs.

The company announced in October 2019 that it would locate operations in the former Wolverine Tube building in the Booneville/Prentiss County Industrial Park. There, employees manufacture refuse trucks for the collection of residential and commercial solid waste. For the expansion, New Way Trucks is opening additional manufacturing operations in a 66,000-sq.-ft. facility for the fabrication of parts and subassemblies, as well as R&D.

The manufacturer expects to begin operations in the new facility by the end of the year and plans to fill the new jobs over the next two years.
