Brief History of Plant

1959 - The plant was built on the edge of the St. Lawrence River to produce aluminum and transmission castings for the Chevrolet Corvair.

1978 - June, through consolidation, the plant became a part of the GM Central Foundry Division.

1986 - August 6, GM announced that two of the three production processes at the plant would be phased down by the end of the 1988 model year.

1991 - The Central Foundry Division became part of the GM Powertrain Group in November, making the Massena Plant part of the GMPTG - Casting Operations. More recently, the Powertrain Casting Manufacturing Plants and the Powertrain Component Manufacturing Plants have been jointed to form the GMPT-Component Sector.

1996 - General Motors announced the release of two new aluminum products to be manufactured by the Lost Foam process at the Massena facility. This new business for the facility represented the location's first venture with its Lost Foam technology into the global marketplace.
