It made front-wheel-drive, automatic transmissions and transmission components used by other GM facilities.[2]
Built in 1963, the facility closed on July 28, 2010 and will not be re-tooled.[3] This resulted in the layoff of 1,400 workers at the plant.[4] Products produced at this plant have been discontinued, with production of new six-speed transmissions moving to the St. Catharines Engine Plant in St. Catharines, Ontario.[5]
