This plant was opened in 1942. It originally built tanks for World War II as the Grand Blanc Tank Arsenal, and is still sometimes called the ‘Tank Plant’. It was transferred to the Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac Group (BOC) in 1984 and later to the newly formed Cadillac Luxury Car Division (not to be confused with the Cadillac Motor Car Division). Originally it produced pressed metal parts. Most recently operated by the Metal Fabricating Division, this plant has all but eliminated its metal stamping operations, and now serves as a corporation-wide weld tooling centre.
