Wednesday, June 02, 2010 GM Canada’s New Transmission Production
 GM Canada has announced that it will invest $245 million in the St. Catharines Powertrain facility. This will allow 400 people to obtain employment.
The new plant is to produce fuel-efficient 6-speed transmissions early in 2012, a full 4 months earlier than planned because of strong customer demand.
With employees, union officials and local, provincial and federal dignitaries on hand, General Motors of Canada president and managing director, Kevin Williams, announced the $245 million investment. This builds on the good news for the St. Catharines facility, which also recently announced a $235 million investment to support next generation engine production beginning in 2013. Together, these production investments will secure some 800 jobs at the plant.
