“Continually improving the flexibility of our manufacturing operations helps us respond quickly to customer needs and market demand.”
GM added the investment would give CAMI the ability to build a higher variety of differentiated products, on multiple platforms, at much lower costs.
“We have had a strong start to 2013 with customer demand for our newest vehicles driving improved sales,” said Williams.
“This is strong confirmation that our investing in manufacturing flexibility, finding ways to bring new products to market faster, is the right strategy.”
