GM Investing $76 Million in Ohio, New York Plants

General Motors announced a $76 million investment to support two manufacturing facilities key in producing its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The Tonawanda Engine Plant in Buffalo, New York, will receive $70 million. The Parma Metal Center near Cleveland, Ohio, receives $6 million. Both facilities received a shared investment of $552 million in December 2016.
“GM continues to invest to strengthen our core business and respond to growing customer demand for our full-size pickups,” said GM Vice President of North America Manufacturing and Labor Relations Phil Kienle. “Our Tonawanda and Parma teams are dedicated to building world-class products for our customers and these investments reflect our confidence in these teams.”
The GM Oshawa, Ontario plant is being modified now to start making the 2022 model pickup trucks, probably by mid 2021, maybe June or July. Since the huge volume of trucks requires mostly V8 engines, the Tonawanda plant will be supplying the engines to Oshawa, as it’s only just over 100 miles between these two plants. Since a U.S based truck driver is allowed to work as long as 11 hours per day, any Buffalo area driver can do 2 return trips a day between the plants on one shift. In fact, he could work just 4 days a week for a total of about 40 hours and have 3 days off. Years ago, when GM stopped making pickup trucks at the Oshawa plant, it had the best quality of any GM plant in North America. The GM Oshawa grounds has a test track which they can use to put 4 or 5 miles on each truck before it’s shipped, to make sure it’s perfect.
