Electric-vehicle battery cells are rolling off the line at our region’s newest manufacturing plant.
The exciting news was released last week on the same day that Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted and other state officials were in town to tour the high-tech plant of the future.
Indeed, this is just one more step toward guaranteeing that our Mahoning Valley lives up to its lofty goal of becoming “Voltage Valley.”
The battery cells, being manufactured at the enormous new joint-venture Ultium Cells plant between General Motors and South Korea’s LG Energy Solution, will fuel GM vehicles of the future. The brand new 2.8 million-square foot facility is located along state Route 45 in Lordstown.
As Ultium Cells Vice President Tom Gallagher said last week, “It’s been a journey.”
We couldn’t be more thrilled to have our Valley as the starting point…
