CAMBRIDGE, OHIO — Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing Corp. broke ground yesterday for a new $8 million facility that will serve as an addition to the company’s Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing-East complex.
Detroit Diesel, a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG, designs, manufactures, sells and services a complete line of medium and heavy duty diesel and alternative fuel engines for the commercial vehicle market. Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing-East produces 70 percent of the remanufactured Detroit Diesel engines nationwide.
