As well as assembling the Altima on three shifts, Canton, which NNA describes as “a global centre of excellence for body-on-frame truck production”, this autumn will start building the Frontier midsize pick-up truck and Xterra SUV; both are being transferred from Nissan’s older Smyrna, Tennessee, plant.
The latest Altima begins shipping to dealers this week and goes on sale, priced from US$21,500, at the end of June.
Canton, which employs approximately 3,300 on its 3.5m sq ft facility on 1,400 acres near Jackson, also makes the Armada full-size SUV, Titan full-size pickup and NV commercial vehicles.
