Oshawa Assembly, General Motors assembly plant in Oshawa, Canada
Oshawa Assembly is a General Motors manufacturing facility in Oshawa where Chevrolet Silverado trucks are produced for North American customers. The plant operates continuously across multiple shifts on its extensive grounds to keep up with ongoing production demands.
The facility started in 1907 as a production site for Chevrolet automobiles and was acquired by General Motors in 1918. Through decades of operation, the plant shifted its focus to truck manufacturing as market demands changed.
The facility maintains strong connections with Ontario communities through educational programs and employment opportunities, supporting over 2,600 direct manufacturing positions.
The location is easily accessible from the main road network and sits within an established industrial area of the city. Keep in mind that this is an active production facility, so visitor access is restricted to designated areas or scheduled tours.
The facility underwent major retooling in 2021 to introduce new production technologies and expand its capabilities. This modernization was essential for returning to truck manufacturing and transformed it into a contemporary production site.
