General Motors invests $6 billion into U.S. manufacturing
DETROIT, Mich. — General Motors has invested over $6 billion into its U.S. manufacturing footprint over the past year, with hundreds of millions dedicated towards projects in Michigan.
The company recently announced $830 million in investments towards projects that will support the launch of GM’s next generation full-size trucks and SUVs.
The sites benefiting from the total investment include:
- Romulus Propulsion Systems, receiving $300 million to increase the facility’s capacity to produce 10-speed transmissions, which are used in GM’s next-generation full-size trucks and SUVs. This is a further capacity increase for production at Romulus, which initially received $300 million late last year to support this work. Romulus has about 1,000 employees.
- Saginaw Metal Casting Operations (Michigan) recently announced to its approximately 350 employees a $150 million investment to increase head casting volume for Gen 6 engines, supporting next-generation full-size pickup trucks and Corvettes.
