GM invests $71 million in two Ohio manufacturing plants

General Motors plans to invest $71 million into two Ohio manufacturing facilities, including $39 million at its Toledo transmission plant and $32 million at its Defiance casting plant. Work will begin immediately at the two locations.


The Toledo investment will be used to upgrade and enhance the production of GM’s eight speed rear wheel drive transmission and the Defiance investment will be used to prepare the facility for future engine casting components work.

Since 2009, GM has invested more than $3.3 billion in Ohio. Separately, GM and LG Chem formed a joint venture – Ultium Cells LLC – and together are investing more than $2.3 billion to build a new, state-of-the-art battery cell manufacturing plant in Lordstown that will create more than 1,100 new jobs.

Toledo Transmission Operations include approximately 1,700 team members manufacturing and assembling GM’s 6 speed, 8 speed and 10 speed rear wheel drive transmissions and 9 speed front wheel drive transmissions.

Defiance Casting Operations currently employs about 580 employees who manufacture cylinder block and cylinder head castings.
