GM is expanding its Marion Metal Center manufacturing facility to produce parts for EVs. The new expansion will add two press lines and upgraded equipment. The expanded plant will also use the Ultium battery platform. Construction on the expansion is expected to begin this year. GM expects to begin expanded operations by late 2024. The IEDC plans to provide $12.5 million in conditional tax credits, training grants, and redevelopment tax credits.
GM invests in Marion Metal Center to make EV parts
A metal stamping plant in Marion, Indiana, will be renovated and expanded with nearly $500 million in new investment from General Motors. The investment will fund the purchase of two new press lines and upgraded equipment. It will also help to build a 6,000-square-foot addition. The plant will remain open while the expansion is taking place. The facility was established in 1956 and currently manufactures sheet metal parts for multiple GM assembly plants. It employs 750 people.
The investment will help GM produce aluminum and steel stamped parts for upcoming vehicles. The metal stamping plant will also be used to make parts for EVs. The investment is part of GM’s efforts to gain a stronger foothold in the electric vehicle market.
GM expands plant to make EV parts
GM is expanding a plant to build parts for electric vehicles. The company says the expansion will create 2,000 new jobs and retain 1,000 current ones. The plant is located 40 miles north of Detroit. It will also build multiple models of pickup trucks and SUVs. By the end of the year, the company expects to produce six hundred thousand electric full-size trucks. By 2025, it expects to have a total annual manufacturing capacity of one million electric vehicles.
GM is making the investment to protect its Michigan manufacturing base. While the automaker acknowledges the risks, the company hopes that the electric vehicle market will continue to grow and be a significant part of the automotive industry. By 2025, LMC Automotive projects that EV sales in the U.S. will top two million and account for 13% of all new vehicle sales.
GM plans to hire more workers
General Motors is increasing its workforce in a bid to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. The automaker has said it will invest $35 billion in electric vehicles by 2025. This will include expanding production, developing fuel cells and battery technology and boosting EV charging infrastructure.
The investment is intended to increase production of aluminum and steel parts for the company’s electric vehicles. The expansion will include the installation of two new press lines and press and die upgrades. The company will also build a 6,000-square-foot addition to the existing plant. The plant currently employs 750 workers, and the new work should ensure stable employment.
The new electric vehicle production line is expected to include the Cadillac Escalade SUV and new Bolt EV, as well as pickup trucks. In addition, GM plans to build an all-electric GMC Hummer EV, which was briefly a hit in the past.
GM plans to provide conditional tax credits
In the coming years, General Motors plans to build one million electric vehicles, and the Marion, Indiana, assembly plant will play a vital role in that goal. The company has announced plans to invest $491 million in the plant, adding 6,000 square feet and new equipment for EV production. The Marion plant has been in business since 1956, and has 750 employees. Currently, the facility produces sheet metal stampings and blanks for GM’s assembly plants throughout North America.
The expansion will include two press lines and upgraded equipment. The expanded operation is expected to start in late 2024, and construction will start later this year. In addition, the city of Marion will consider additional incentives for the project.
GM proposes training grants
GM recently announced that it will invest $491 million to upgrade its assembly plant in Marion, Indiana. The Marion Metal Center opened in 1956 and has been producing sheet metal for American car brands. GM expects to produce one million electric vehicles in North America by 2025. The investment aims to improve GM’s competitiveness in the EV market and give the company an edge over its competitor Tesla. The company’s CEO, Mary Barra, has even claimed that GM will overtake Tesla in sales by 2025.
In addition to expanding EV production, GM also plans to increase the number of workers who can build the new electric cars. The company’s investment will include the purchase of two new press lines, upgrades to press and dies, and expanded facility space. The work will begin later this year. The investment is a significant boost for the Marion Metal Center, which has been producing sheet metal parts for GM’s multiple assembly plants since 1956. Currently, the facility employs over 750 people.
