Ford Adds 1,550 Jobs to Meet High Demand of 2015 F-150

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Ford Motor Company has added 1,550 jobs to meet the high demand for the 2015 F-150. After an insanely strong month of sales in January, Ford set out to add more jobs to support production of the all-new F-150. This January the F-Series saw the best sales month since 2004, where the 2015 F-150 had a sitting time of just 12 days on dealer lots and quickly became the Ford vehicle with the fastest turnover time ever. 

On February 5th, Ford announced that they would be adding 1,550 jobs to the Kansas City Assembly, Dearborn Stamping, Dearborn Diversified, and Sterling Axle facilities to meet the high demand for the 2015 F-150. The new jobs will be added during the first quarter of 2015, helping Ford reach an entry-level allowance outlined in the 2011 UAW-Ford collective bargaining agreement. As a result of this, the first 300 to 500 "new traditional" employees will transition from their entry-level wage to a higher hourly wage.  

The 1,550 jobs will be split amongst the four facilities with 900 being allocated to Kansas City Assembly, 500 will be split between Dearborn Stamping and Dearborn Diversified, and 150 will go to Sterling Axle. Ford Motor Company is thrilled that the demand for the toughest, smartest, and most capable F-150 has allowed them to provide more jobs within communities around the country.

Production of 2015 F-150 Brings 850 Jobs to Rouge Center

BRIGHTON, Mich - Ford Motor Company announced yesterday that the production of the all-new 2015 F-150 will bring 850 jobs to the Dearborn Rouge Center. The jobs were divided amongst three facilities that are involved in creating the aluminum-intensive pickup- 500 for the truck assembly plant, roughly 300 for the stamping factory and more than 50 for diversified operations.

The production of the all-new 2015 F-150 has brought 850 jobs to the Dearborn Rouge Center and has also helped Ford Motor Company to surpass its goal of creating 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015. Ford's total new job creation exceeds 14,000 to date with more than 4,000 jobs added in southeastern Michigan alone!

With production of the 2015 F-150 came a complete renovation of the Dearborn Truck Plant; the first major manufacturing transformation in a decade. All of the legacy manufacturing equipment was taken out and replaced with top-of-the-line production technology. The Ford Rouge Factory Tour is even receiving a makeover with the addition of new films, exhibits and hands-on experiences that are tied with the new pickup truck.

America's best-selling pickup is scheduled to go into production soon and arrive in showrooms later this year.
