GM builds its 2 millionth vehicle in Lansing Delta Township
A 2016 Buick Enclave, painted White Frost Tricoat, rolled off the production line at General Motors’ Lansing Delta Township Assembly Plant today. The Enclave is the 2 millionth vehicle produced at the automaker’s newest assembly plant in North America.
"This milestone directly reflects the dedication and hard work that our employees put into these crossovers every day,” said Mike Trevorrow, Lansing regional plant manager. “This team has established a strong foundation since opening to enable us to produce our 2 millionth vehicle in nine years, which is quite an accomplishment.”
Lansing Delta Township Assembly is GM’s newest plant that opened in 2006. It was the first automotive manufacturing facility in the world to be a Gold Certified Leader in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
Since starting production, Lansing Delta Township has manufactured the Saturn Outlook, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Acadia Denali and Buick Enclave. A white Outlook was the first vehicle produced on May 24, 2006.
“Producing the 2 millionth vehicle would not be possible without the great people we have here,” said UAW Local 602 President Bill Reed.
This milestone is part of GM’s celebration of 500 million vehicles built globally. GM is currently producing more vehicles than any other automaker.
