Ford Plant ready for Small Car
September 4, 2009 – 10:30 am by CarWale Team
Ford’s manufacturing facility near Chennai is readying for volume production of its soon-to-be-introduced new car after a comprehensive transformation to double its capacity and become a strategic production hub for Ford Motor Company.
Attracting an investment of $500 million from Ford Motor Company, the Ford India plant, located in Maraimalai Nagar, was selected as the ideal production source for Ford’s new car. It will be produced not only for India but also for export to other international markets.
“This new world-class manufacturing facility is a symbol of Ford’s commitment to India and our intention to compete with the best in the market,” said Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India. “When the first new car rolls off the line, it will be a moment when Ford achieves its potential as a major player in the Indian automotive industry.”
