Navistar Canada, Inc.

In 2007, Navistar’s Chatham plant produced an average of 66 units per day on four 10 hour operating days.

With the production of the first "Auto Buggy" in 1907, Navistar Canada, Inc. (then International Harvester Company of Canada, Limited) took the first steps to becoming the modern, successful, multi-billion dollar business that today employs nearly 900 people in Canada.

From its modest beginnings, Navistar has grown into a leading producer of medium and heavy duty trucks, severe service off highway vehicles, and school buses in North America and a worldwide leader in mid-range diesel engine production.

Canadian manufacturing operations commenced with the opening of the Chatham, Ontario Wagon Works in 1910. In 1948, the old Chatham Works was replaced by a new multi-million dollar manufacturing plant. Since its opening, the Chatham plant has grown to encompass 788,488 square feet of manufacturing space on 80.9 acres, employing state of the art technology and a highly-skilled workforce that has set the industry standard for quality and productivity.

In 2007, Navistar launched the most fuel efficient Class 8 Premium conventional tractor under the ProStar label.
