NEWS NEWS HEADLINE NEWS FCA Adds Three Lines to Stamping Plant FCA US LLC (fcausllc.com), Auburn Hills, MI, will invest more than $166 million in three new press lines at its Sterling Stamping Plant, Sterling Heights, MI, to support increased product demand. The investment comes as the facility celebrates 50 years of producing body panels and assemblies for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Ram trucks. The new press lines, currently under construction, are expected to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2015 and will reach full volume in the first half of 2016. The new units will increase the number of stampings produced each day at the plant by nearly 75,000, enabling the plant to produce more than 80 million stampings annually. Recognized as the largest stamping plant in the world, Sterling Stamping is one of six FCA North American facilities that stamps and sub-assembles parts from sheet metal. Those parts are shipped to company facilities in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada where they are welded and assembled to form the bodies of Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler vehicles. Sterling Stamping's first parts were produced in January 1965. The plant employs 2,300. AUGUST 2015 Three new stamping lines at FCA's Sterling Stamping Plant will result in an increase of 75,000 daily stampings when the lines reach capacity in 2016.
