Ford Michigan Assembly Plant

The Michigan Assembly Plant has made Ford cars and trucks since 1957, and with the adjacent and associated plants, is likely Ford’s largest vehicle production complex.  When it opened, it made Mercury station wagons and Edsels. In 1964, it was expanded into a pickup truck plant. It grew steadily, and began producing SUVs in the 1990s. It produced the Ford Focus for several years, until 2018. It now assembles the re-introduced Ford Ranger and Bronco. The Assembly plant is a collection of three buildings, collectively with around 5 million square feet, and is connected to Ford’s Wayne Stamping Plant and the Assembly Paint and Body Shop, which together add another 2.5 million square feet or so to the complex, and employs a few thousand people.
