Ford Motor Co. has announced it will invest $150 million in its Buffalo Stamping Plant and add 350 new jobs to support future product growth at the facility.
The investment is for more than 25 new subassemblies, including hoods, doors and fenders, more than 500 new dies, a new blanking line, as well as equipment upgrades, Ford said today, adding that the plant will add a third shift to its press room to help increase capacity.
“We produce crucial components for several key vehicles in Buffalo,” said Paul Kosaian, director of manufacturing for stamping operations at Ford. “With the help of our UAW and government partners, we were able to secure additional jobs and investment to keep Buffalo Stamping Plant competitive and efficient.”
“These additional jobs are the direct result of the dedicated effort our UAW members display every day at facilities all across the country, and serve as another reminder of the resilience of American workers and our nation’s manufacturing sector,” added Jimmy Settles, UAW vice president of the National Ford Department.
The Buffalo Stamping Plant produces parts for the Ford F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks, the Flex and Edge SUVs, Focus, the Econoline van, as well as the Lincoln MKX and MKT.
