The Case New Holland (CNH) plant in Burlington, known for its production of loader backhoes, tractor loaders, and rough terrain forklifts, is set to close its doors by the second quarter of 2026.
This decision comes as part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and cut costs in response to a significant drop in demand for these specific products. As CNH shifts its production to other facilities across the U.S. and Europe, the closure is expected to impact approximately 200 to 350 employees, raising concerns about job security and the future of the local workforce.
The gradual shutdown will unfold over the next year and a half, reflecting the company’s efforts to enhance competitiveness in an evolving market.
