South Bend-based AM General LLC says it could soon recall up to 200 idled workers at a plant in Mishawaka. A company spokesman says the work involves an anticipated federal contract for production of Humvees. Business at AM General is picking up. In January, the manufacturer announced 200 workers would be recalled at another St. Joseph County operation to produce MV-1.

Last week, AM General detailed a Canadian distribution deal for the handicapped-accessible vehicle.

Statement From AM General Spokesman Jeff Adams

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – “I can confirm that AM General will soon begin recalling employees back to work at its Military Assembly Plant in anticipation of a U.S. Government contract.

“This action could result in as many as 200 employees being recalled if the contract is executed as anticipated and is consistent with our prior communications that as we secure additional HMMWV orders we would adjust production accordingly.”
