Kenworth’s Chillicothe facility in Ross County, Ohio, is a long‑running assembly plant that has produced hundreds of thousands of trucks since opening in 1974. The site has seen major recent investments, including a large paint‑facility project and manufacturing awards for process and environmental improvements.
