Spartan Motors, Inc. , Builds Truck Assembly Plant In Charlotte, Michigan
04/19/2016
According the the firm, the new plant will be part of Spartan's Charlotte manufacturing campus, and it will be dedicated solely to the production of Isuzu vehicles. This new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility will have a flexible production line that can be easily reconfigured to accommodate the assembly of multiple product lines. Further, the production of the F-Series trucks by Spartan at this new plant will bring new jobs to the Michigan workforce.
Isuzu North America Corporation recently expanded its relationship with Spartan by selecting the Company to produce the new line of Isuzu trucks. The F-Series trucks will extend Isuzu's product offering into Class 6 on-highway commercial trucks. This decision to further expand the alliance, which began in 2011 with the production of Isuzu's gasoline-powered N-Series trucks, demonstrates Isuzu's continued confidence in Spartan's quality, people, flexibility, and expertise, company officials said.
"Today's groundbreaking ceremony represents a significant milestone for Spartan, as we expand our manufacturing footprint and bring new jobs to Michigan," said Daryl Adams, President/CEO, Spartan Motors. "Measurable growth in our relationships with existing clients, such as Isuzu, further confirms our multi-year strategic plan is driving improved performance and will continue to pay dividends for Spartan over the long-term. We also want to thank our State and local officials for their collaboration and continued support of Spartan's growth initiatives."
"We are excited for the opportunity to further grow our business relationship with Isuzu," said Steve Guillaume, Division President, Specialty Vehicles, Spartan Motors. "Contract manufacturing is a core competency of Spartan. This is another great opportunity for us to broaden our portfolio in this key area."
