A123 Opens Michigan Battery Plant for Electric Vehicles

Nice to read about more jobs being created in the U.S. and especially in the state of Michigan which has been hurt with auto plant closings and layoffs. This article from the Boston Business Journal is talks about the new plant A123 Systems Inc. is opening in Livonia, MI.

A123 Systems Inc.  announcing the opening of its manufacturing facility in Livonia, MI  which the company called the largest lithium ion automotive battery production facility in North America.

The Watertown, Mass.-based company said the 291,000-square-foot plant will enable the complete production process, from research and development to assembly of battery packs ready for use in electric vehicles.

Good news for the people in MI and for the rest of the country.

 

It's interesting to note that I attended The LED Show in Las Vegas last month and in most vendor booths there was a sign stating their product was made in the USA. It really stood out to me as I walked around the exhibit hall that vendors were displaying this sign and I'm assuming using it as an edge in marketing.

Talk soon, thanks for reading!
