TROY, Mich. â February 23, 2021 â Magna has broken ground on a new manufacturing facility in St. Clair, Mich., that will build complex battery enclosures for the all-new 2022 GMC Hummer EV.
Construction of the 345,000 square-foot facility, named Magna Electric Vehicle Structures, represents more than a $70 million investment that is expected to bring more than 300 jobs to the city of St. Clair over the next five years.
