who owns mack trucks
Mack Trucks is owned by the Volvo Group, the Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer that acquired Mack (via Renault’s truck division) in 2000–2001 and has kept it as a subsidiary since then.
Who owns Mack Trucks now?
- Mack Trucks, Inc. is currently a subsidiary of the Volvo Group (AB Volvo), the Swedish commercial vehicle group that also owns Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks.
- Mack became part of Volvo when AB Volvo bought Renault Véhicules Industriels (Renault’s truck division) in 2000–2001, and Mack came along in that deal.
- Volvo Cars (the car brand) is a separate company from AB Volvo, so Mack is not owned by the same company that owns Volvo passenger cars.
Quick history of ownership
- 1900–1967: Mack operated independently after being founded as Mack Brothers Company in 1900.
- 1967: Acquired by Signal Oil & Gas (later The Signal Companies), moving it under a diversified industrial group.
- Late 1970s–1990: French automaker Renault gradually bought into Mack, reaching full ownership in 1990 through Renault Véhicules Industriels.
- Since 2000–2001: AB Volvo acquired Renault’s truck business (including Mack), making Mack Trucks a Volvo Group brand where it remains today.
Common confusion (Ford, Geely, etc.)
- Mack has never been part of the Ford Motor Company, even though Ford once owned Volvo Cars and that sometimes causes mix‑ups.
- Zhejiang Geely Holding owns Volvo Cars, but only holds a minority investor stake in AB Volvo; it does not directly “own” Mack Trucks.
Bottom line: When people ask “who owns Mack Trucks,” the current answer is the Volvo Group (AB Volvo) , not Ford, not Renault alone, and not Volvo Cars.
