Chrysler Group recently announced expansions of their production in Midwest, according to Industry Week. With procurement of new factory operations Chrysler and Honda, these automobile manufacturers will invest over $260 million into American manufacturing.
Meanwhile, Chrysler said it was providing $52 million to develop its Tigershark engine in plants located in Michigan in a separate Industry Week article. An $11.5 million investment for its Trenton-based plant will produce almost 300 new jobs and gain a Tigershark assembly line. The rest will go toward the factory in Dundee to improve engine production with new machine cranks, heads and blocks.
"With the growing demand for our products, we are constantly evaluating how to best meet powertrain production requirements,"" said Brian Harlow, head of Powertrain Manufacturing. ""In this case, we are fortunate that we had an existing facility that could accommodate the additional capacity needs for Tigershark and one that has the know-how to support that additional production."
