Big-rig location parks Volvos, Macks in Robinson

ROBINSON – A Volvo & Mack Trucks sales and service center has opened in the Robinson industrial park, a big-rig mecca at Interstate 35 and Sun Valley Boulevard.

The 35,000-sf building sells Volvo and Mack trucks priced between $95,000 and $135,000.

Construction of the center was estimated at $2 million, according to state filings.

The center has 34 employees, including ten diesel technicians. They also deliver parts to users within a 100-mile radius.

The Volvo Group, which now includes Mack Trucks, is a publicly held company with headquarters in Goteborg, Sweden, though all Volvo and Mack tractors and diesel engines are built in the United States.
