General Motors has announced that it will expand Malibu production to its Lake Orion, Michigan plant, which currently produces the Pontiac G6. The Malibu’s main production facility is in Kansas City, Kansas, but the additional assembly line is expected to help GM keep up with initial demand and could boost annual Malibu production by as much as 100,000 units.
According to The Detroit News, the increased production at the Lake Orion plant could result in 300 new jobs. Before the recent deal between the UAW and GM, the future of the Michigan plant was in jeopardy of being closed. “Everybody’s real happy — this means a future here,” said Mike Dunn, shop chairman for United Auto Workers Local 5960.
