Chrysler has certainly taken its lumps lately. Now, though, the "pre-owned" automaker is in uber-expansion mode, announcing in only two months five North American expansions involving at least US$2.45 billion in investment and almost 1,800 new jobs.
Driving South: One of Chrysler's new engine plants, a $570-million, 485-employee operation, is headed to Saltillo, Mexico, adjacent to this 2,150-employee, 212,850-sq.-ft. (191,565-sq.-m.) Dodge Ram assembly plant.
This week's SiteNet Dispatch brings you new and exclusive stories from the May 2007 issue of Site Selection, including:
- United Kingdom Spotlight: "Watch Out for Wales"
- Telecom Industry Review: "Forward Slash?"
- Special Ad Section: Service Provider Showcase
A High-Flying Scottish Fling: Major tenants in Spinningfields, a 4.6-million-sq.-ft. (427,450-sq.-m.) mixed-use development in Manchester's central business district, include the Royal Bank of Scotland.
