General Motors Co. opened a new ACDelco and GM Genuine Parts processing center in the Flint, Michigan, suburb of Burton. The state-of-the-art facility will employ more than 800 hourly and salaried employees.
GM now employs more than 9,500 people in Genesee County, including the Grand Blanc headquarters of the company’s Customer Care and Aftersales business and the Flint manufacturing complex.
“This new facility in Burton will help us continue to deliver the industry’s best possible sales, service and ownership experience,” said Barry Engle, GM executive vice president and president, the Americas. “Strategic investments in our core business, and the strong U.S. economy, are creating opportunities for GM and its employees all over the country, and especially here in Michigan.”
All positions in Burton support GM’s CCA business – the team responsible for supporting the service and repair needs of millions of GM vehicle owners as well as owners of competitive makes.
The 1.1 million sq.ft. plant, located on 141 acres on Davison Road, is triple the size of the facility in Burton that it is replacing. The increased capacity allows for greater efficiency and output as employees unitize and package as many as 120 million service parts a year.
The parts packaged and distributed from Burton are used to maintain every Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicle sold in the U.S., as well as hundreds of competitive vehicles.
An average of 100 inbound deliveries and 55 outbound deliveries are expected each day.
The facility has 84 shipping and receiving docks, up from 35 at the previous site.
