GM Plant Closings: Full List

GM Plant Closings: Full List

By: Daniel Chubb | June 1, 2009 | 1 Comment

It’s been a busy day for General Motor Corp, with the 100-year-old automaker filing for bankruptcy protection today and the latest news of GM plant closings.

You can see a full list of GM plant closings here on GM news; they have a nice neat table that shows the list of impacted U.S. GM plants. Have a look and let us know if this affects you.

The plan includes GM’s total number of stamping; powertrain, and assembly facilities in the United States reduce from 47 in 2008 right down to 33 at the end of 2012. In total 14 U.S. manufacturing plants will be impacted.

It’s the view of many analysts and the U.S. government, that the New General Motors will be stronger by consisting of GM’s strongest brands and operations. This means lower operating costs, less debt, but sadly also less jobs.

Check out the full GM plant-closing list, and let us know in the comments, what you think about this change.
