General Motors announced that it will invest $100 million to retool and enhance its GM Components Holdings Rochester Operations facility in Rochester, NY. The retooling will enable The General to manufacture its next-generation, fuel efficient small block car and truck engines. Cathy Clegg, GM's vice president of labor relations, says that, "The Gen V small block engine family will have unprecedented fuel efficiency, and GMCH Rochester Operations will play a key role in helping us deliver these efficient engines to our customers."
Four product lines will be retooled or enhanced: integrated air module, high-pressure fuel rail, lifter oil manifold assembly and direct injection injector. GMCH Rochester Operations opened its door way back in 1939 and manufactures components for several GM models built in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Korea, China, Australia and Brazil. As a result of the $100 million retooling, GMCH Rochester will expand its workforce by hiring 30 employees.
