Volvo Halifax Assembly

Volvo Halifax Assembly

The Volvo Halifax Assembly Plant located in Halifax, Nova Scotia was opened 1963. It was the only North American assembly plant Volvo ever opened. The plant was built to reduce shipping costs. The plant bridged the gap between North America and Volvo headquarters and main assembly plant in Göteborg. In 1998, Volvo decided to close its Halifax plant. The last car rolled off the line in spring 1997. The plant employed 225 workers.
