GM has announced they will start construction of the new $200 million stamping facility at Arlington, Texas, where the next generation of GM full-size SUVs will be built - the Chevrolet Tahoes, Suburbans, GMC Yukons and Cadillac Escalades. This new facility will add some 180 jobs and will reduce costs, as the parts are sometimes moved from facilities 1,000 miles away
"Our investment in GM's Arlington plant is one more example of GM strengthening the economy and creating jobs throughout the many U.S. communities where GM does business," said GM Manufacturing Manager Larry Zahner.
“Today’s announcement is further evidence that the U.S. auto industry is back. An important goal for the UAW is to increase the number of manufacturing jobs in the United States and we are pleased that General Motors has decided to make this investment in Arlington,” said Joe Ashton, vice president of the UAW representing the GM department. “We look forward to more good news in 2012 as our workers continue to build the world’s best vehicles.”
