In recent years, Mack has made strategic moves to strongly grow its presence in new and existing markets around the world. As a result of these efforts, Mack Trucks, Inc. finished 2009 as the leading exporter of heavy-duty North American trucks.

The demand for American-style trucks is high in many countries and is particularly strong for construction and heavy-haul applications.

“International sales continues to be an area of opportunity and growth for Mack,” said Carl Heikel, Mack senior vice president, international, in a written statement. “Our international distributors have been critical in supporting Mack’s reputation as the epitome of rugged, tough and reliable American-style trucks.”

Currently, Mack trucks are sold and serviced through an extensive distribution network in more than 45 countries. The brand is particularly strong in Latin America and Australia.
