me - Aug 16,2015 - As First 2016 Truck Rolls Off New Assembly Line, Brown Applauds Ford’s $168 Million Investment at Avon Lake Plant. Ford Invested Millions in New Commercial Truck Production at Avon Lake Assembly Plant, Bringing Jobs from Mexico to Ohio. In March 2015, Ford announced its plan to shift production of its F-650 and F-750 trucks from Mexico to Avon Lake. “Ohioans take great pride in the fact that we can drive cars made in Ohio with Ohio-made parts. Ford’s continued investment in our state – including this line of production in Avon Lake – speaks to the strength of Ohio’s manufacturing workers,” said Brown. “As the first super-duty truck rolls off the lot, we celebrate northeast Ohio’s workforce and commit ourselves to boosting our manufacturing sector so more generations of Ohioans can produce the next generation of Ford trucks. In March, Brown celebrated Ford’s new line of production at its Cleveland Engine Plant. Production of its four-cylinder EcoBoost Engines to the Cleveland Engine Plant brought 450 jobs over to Cleveland from Valencia, Spain. 276,330 indirect employment (jobs indirectly employed by automakers or parts suppliers: 167,891 by automakers and 108,439 by parts suppliers).
