GM Investing $491 Million In Indiana Plant for EV Parts

Gerald Johnson, executive vice president of global manufacturing and sustainability, expressed GM’s dedication to its people by reinvesting in the facilities they work in. “This investment is another example of the company bringing everyone along and investing in the people who make manufacturing a competitive advantage for GM,” he stated in a press release.

GM’s Marion Metal Center opened its doors in 1956 and currently employs more than 750 workers. The plant expects to maintain employment through the updating process.

“The new stamping presses, upgrades and renovations associated with the investment will create job security for our members and help them care for their families and support their local community for years to come,” remarked Ray Curry, UAW Local 977 president and director of the General Motors and Gaming departments.

Excitement also comes from Indiana Gov. Eric J.Holcomb. “It’s exactly because of investments like GM’s in advanced technology and future-focused solutions that will ensure Indiana will continue to be a leader in tomorrow’s manufacturing, making the products that power and redefine mobility the world over,” said Holcomb.
