WOODBURN, OR-In its first manufacturing expansion since 1995, publicly traded truck maker Supreme Corp. is opening a manufacturing plant here to reduce freight costs to the Northwest, where it has been trying to expand sales.

The Goshen, IN-based company has acquired a 108,000-sf plant on 13 acres and will employ 120 people. Its first assignment will be completing an order for Budget Rental. From January through May, the plant will produce 840 16- and 24-ft trucks exclusively to fulfill a contract with the company.

Supreme paid $2.4 million for the land and building, previously used by a maker of manufactured homes. The seller was Western Homes Corporation of Auburn Hills, MI. Tom Talbot, a broker with Grubb & Ellis in Portland, represented Supreme in their acquisition. Tim Campbell of Campbell Commercial Real Estate in Eugene and Caleb Fox of Binswanger in Philadelphia, PA, represented the seller.
