The new shift will add approximately 750 jobs to the facility.
The addition of the third-shift operations coincides with the start of Dodge Nitro production. The majority of the jobs will be filled with current Chrysler Group employees who will be called back from layoff.
In November 2005, Chrysler said it would invest $600m at Toledo North, giving the plant the flexibility to add Dodge Nitro assembly to the line that has been producing the Jeep Liberty/Cherokee since 2001. Those investments also added more than 160,000 square feet of floor space, new equipment – including more than 150 new robots – new conveyors as well as important new processes that will contribute to the plant’s productivity and quality.
