CAMI Assembly

It uses the CAMI Production System (CPS), a set of operating philosophies that guide team members in manufacturing vehicles.

[4] CAMI was an independently incorporated joint venture of automobile manufacturing in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada and formed the third step of General Motors' three-pronged initiative of the mid-1980s to capture and practice the Japanese mystique of automotive management.

To circumvent the American 25 percent "Chicken tax", the entire Canadian production of Geo Trackers was initially shipped to the United States.

[6] In December 2010, contrary to conditions set out by Canadian federal and Ontario provincial governments, GM laid off approximately 90 salaried staff as a result of its takeover of the CAMI Assembly plant.

[14] In 2021, GM announced CAMI Assembly would transition to the BrightDrop platform (starting in May 2022[15]) to become General Motors Canada's first commercial EV manufacturing plant.

[19] The first BrightDrop vehicles were produced in early December 2022,[20] with a grand opening event attended by various dignitaries.
