Michigan Assembly Plant has a long and impressive history, beginning with its inception in 1957, when it
became the industry’s first plant constructed exclusively for building station wagon bodies. Today it makes
history yet again, becoming the site for building the all-new global Ford Focus for the North American market
and a full lineup of electrified vehicles. It is Ford Motor Company’s benchmark for flexible manufacturing.
