As the demand for trucks and large SUVs continue, those at GM Parma Metal Center told News 5 they're keeping busy building parts for models including the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado.
PARMA, Ohio — As the pickup truck and large SUV market continues to see record demand, those at General Motors Parma Metal Center told News 5 they're keeping busy helping build the bones for popular models, including the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado.
In 2021, General Motors announced a $46.8 million investment in its Parma Metal Center. News 5 was granted access inside the plant to view the latest upgrades, which focus on the plant's press and metal assembly area, as well as aluminum operations. From assembly robots to driverless shuttles, it doesn’t take long to notice the amount of automation inside the plant. However, Gaeschke told News 5 the plant is still on track to maintain its thousand employees in Parma going forward.
As UAW Local 1005 Shop Chairman Michael Patterson points out, part of the upgrades still being added will help make machines compatible with aluminum, which is about a third the weight of steel.
