Securing the Future
During the 2023 national contract talks, we were successful in securing commitment for new product allocation for many of our locations. The addition of the Blazer at Spring Hill, Equinox at Fairfax, new truck production for Lake Orion and product commitment at Lansing Grand River, all represent new life for our locations.
