Monday, August 16, 2010 Chrysler Announces Investment in Etobicoke
 Chrysler Group LLC announced today that it would invest $27.2 million in its Etobicoke Casting Plant to produce front and rear crossmembers for future Chrysler vehicles starting in the third quarter 2011. As part of the investment, 280 jobs will be retained.
The new investment will prepare the facility for crossmember production by securing new tooling and equipment to enhance the plant's capability, and bring in new technologies that will improve the quality, testing and inspection processes. The Etobicoke plant currently produces aluminum die castings and pistons for a variety of Chrysler vehicles.
A crossmember is a structural component in the suspension system of the vehicle that transfers and filters road loads from the control arms to the body of the vehicle.
