GM Lansing Delta Township Plant Builds 2 Millionth Vehicle - PaddockTalk
This team has established a strong foundation since opening to enable us to produce our 2 millionth vehicle in nine years, which is quite an accomplishment. Since starting production, Lansing Delta Township has manufactured the Saturn Outlook, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Acadia Denali and Buick Enclave. A white Outlook was the first vehicle produced on May 24, 2006. The plant currently employs approximately 3,200 employees on three shifts. GM has announced more than $580 million in investments for Lansing Delta Township facility over the last two years, including $63 million in 2014 to expand the plant by nearly 263,000 square feet and $520 million earlier this year for tooling and... Minor dips in 2009 and 2012 reflected overall trends in the recovering auto industry, but record-setting 2014 sales represented a 39-percent increase over the Enclaves first full year of production. The Enclave led Buicks product renaissance, redefining what consumers should expect from a full-size luxury crossover, said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. Source: paddocktalk.com
