DETROIT, MI - The latest in a string of $5.4 billion worth of investments by General Motors in its U.S. facilities is in Indiana.
GM said Tuesday it plans to put $1.2 million at its Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Roanoke, Ind., where it builds both light- and heavy-duty versions of its GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado full-size pickups.
The investment calls for a new paint and sealing facility, new equipment, new skillet conveyance systems and other technology upgrades. The three-shift Fort Wayne Assembly has about 3,800 employees.
GM said last month it is investing $5.4 billion in its U.S. plants over the next three years, including $783.5 million at three facilities in Michigan.
The Michigan investment includes $124 million at the Pontiac Metal Center, $520 million for tooling and equipment at the Lansing Delta Township plant, where it is preparing for new product and retaining 1,900 jobs; and $139.5 million for a new body shop and stamping facility upgrades at Pre-Production Operations in Warren.
Separately, GM announced earlier this month it is investing $1 billion at its Warren Technical Center and adding about 2,600 jobs as part of upgrades and new construction at the 326-acre campus.
The Detroit automaker said that multi-year project begins this month and will continue through 2020.
