Joiner SUPERVISOR: Dr. W.A. Anderson NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 55 ii ABSTRACT Several documents have been presented outlining the methods incorporated by large multinational corporations in their plant location process. These methods contribute to our knowledge of how companies choose a location in which to locate a manufacturing operation. The role of the region or municipality in preparing an appropriate atmosphere to coordinate with an industry's specific requirements has not been widely examined. The objective of this research paper is to examine the role played by the Town of Ingersoll, Township of South-West Oxford and County of Oxford in Southwestern Ontario in preparing a sui table land, infrastructure and zoning regulations package to facilitate the requirement for a joint General Motors and Suzuki automotive assembly plant. The results obtained from this research paper will aid in the awareness of the actions that occur to aid such a large industrial and economic expansions within a small agricultural society.

  • General Motor's CAMI Assembly Plant Celebrates Production of Five
    News General Motor’s CAMI Assembly Plant Celebrates Production of Five Millionth Vehicle INGERSOLL, Ont. (May 15, 2018) — Today CAMI Assembly employees had five million reasons to celebrate as they marked the production of their five millionth vehicle, a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox at the Ingersoll, Ont. assembly plant. Employees celebrated across all three-shifts as the landmark vehicle made its way through the plant. CAMI employees will be given the opportunity to purchase the Cajun red 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD through the local dealership, Searles Motor Products. Building world-class vehicles since April 1, 1989, the plant was originally established as CAMI Automotive Inc. – a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Corporation. During the early production years, CAMI produced models for both Chevrolet and Suzuki. In 2011, the joint-venture partnership with Suzuki Motor Corporation came to an end and the plant became a fully-owned entity of General Motors, which is now known as CAMI Assembly. As a result of a C$800 million investment, CAMI Assembly has been producing the current-generation Chevrolet Equinox since January 2017. The Chevrolet Equinox is a fresh and modern compact SUV, perfect for exploring our country and living the Canadian Dream. The Equinox features an expressive design, increased cargo space, the latest connectivity, an expanded roster of available safety features and an all-new range of turbocharged engines — including the segment’s first turbo-diesel. The Canadian-built Equinox launched with great success into the heart of the compact SUV market, the best performing segment in Canada, providing Chevrolet with the newest and broadest lineup of crossovers and SUVs.

Car sales jumped 20 percent, nearly twice the rate of increase in 2015. Much of this vigorous expansion resulted from the country’s temporary suspension of sales taxes for cars with small engines. Volatility continued in 2017: A large drop early in the year reflected Exhibit 1 China’s auto market rebounded to a 20% sales volume growth Passenger car1 sales volume YoY growth Million cars % 22 23 20 19 17 16 16 15 13 13 11 11 11 6 2010 11 12 13 14 15 2016 1 Including sedan, MPV, SUV SOURCE: McKinsey M-view the impact of strong “pull ahead” sales in December 2016, as many consumers sought to take advantage of a lower sales tax rate before an increase took effect on January 1, 2017. However, sales growth eventually picked up again over the course of the year. While the recent resurgence in sales represents one of the most dramatic shifts in China’s automotive market, a variety of other factors are at play that will drive even more profound changes in the industry over the coming years. Perhaps the biggest of these changes involves the transformation taking place among car buyers.

  • 2018 PRESS June 25, 2018 Announcing the Exhibitors for This Year's Salon Art + Design 11 Countries Will Be Represented at This Year's Fair; Here Are the Details
    2018 PRESS June 25, 2018 Announcing the Exhibitors for This Year's Salon Art + Design 11 countries will be represented at this year's fair; here are the details By Hadley Keller An aerial shot of the 2017 Salon Art + Design. Photo: Peter Baker During the cold months in New York, aesthetes know there's no better place to catch great design than the Park Avenue Armory. Between October and January, several fairs bring the best in art, antiques, and design to the historic Upper East Side venue. One perennial favorite is the Salon Art + Design, which focuses on furniture and design from the 19th through 21st centuries. Running November 8 through 12, this year's iteration—the seventh—is set to be the best yet. Fifty-six galleries from 11 countries will show wares ranging from Art Nouveau furniture to contemporary art—all of which is sure to be presented in thoughtfully outfitted booths. "Few fairs today include the range of both fine and decorative arts found at the Salon," says executive director Jill Bokor. "Recognizing the desire of collectors and interior designers to create environments rather than simply amass objects, the Salon exhibitors are chosen for their precise and creative way of presenting material that both predicts and reflects trends in the international culture of living. Ultimately, the Salon is curated on the premise that collectors and designers insist on a vibrant, uncommon array of styles, materials, and periods as long as the quality is impeccable." AD PRO got an exclusive look at the participant list. Below, the 30 international and 26 U.S.

  • Combination of Brexit and Ceta - Moving Vehicle Platforms from 1
    COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 1 UK TO CANADA Combination of Brexit and CETA - Study on the Possibility of Motor Corporations Moving Vehicle Platforms from UK to Canada Junxi YU Engineering and Public Policy, McMaster University COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 2 UK TO CANADA Abstract With the help from Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in 2016, enormous opportunities and benefits have been created for the automotive industry in Canada. Specifically, European Union(EU) tariffs immediately eliminated on all Canadian auto parts that exported to EU. In the European market, UK has been a competitor to Canada in the automotive industry. After Brexit, without the benefits of free trade within EU, vehicles manufactured in the UK will start to lose their appeal in price gradually. In the thesis, a comparison on the current situation of five motor corporations in Canada and the corresponding motor corporations in the UK was made. It was found that only Honda Canada and Honda UK have an identical vehicle platform referred as Honda Civic platform, which produces same vehicle models, namely Honda Civic Type R and Honda CRV. On the contrast, the other four auto corporations don’t possess a same vehicle platform, producing same vehicle models in Canada and UK. A thorough analysis on Honda Motor Company was conducted. The total costs including vehicle price, shipping costs, tariff and currency exchange rate for EU consumers to purchase a car from the same platform in Canada and UK was calculated separately. By comparing the total costs of the two purchasing routes, the conclusion and recommendations was provided.
