Janesville Assembly Plant
Janesville Assembly Plant is a former automobile factory owned by General Motors located in Janesville, Wisconsin. Opened in 1919, it was the oldest operating GM plant when it was largely idled in December 2008, and ceased all remaining production on April 23, 2009.
The plant covers 4,800,000 square feet (446,000 m³).〔General Motors. (Janesville Assembly fact sheet ). Accessed June 27, 2008.〕 It employed around 7,000 workers at its peak in 1970, but was down to about 1,200 when it ceased production of GM vehicles in December 2008.〔James P. Leute. ("Thursday is last day of production as Isuzu line comes to end" ), ''Janesville Gazette'', April 21, 2009.〕
==Samson Tractor Division==
In 1918, the Samson Tractor division of General Motors was formed from the merger of Samson Tractor of California and the Janesville Machine Company, a farm implement manufacturer.〔("Through the years: Chronicling the history of GM in Janesville" ), ''Janesville Gazette'', December 22, 2008. Retrieved September 16, 2013.〕 A Samson Tractor Division plant employing 3,000 workers was opened in Janesville in 1919, with the first tractor produced on May 1, 1919.〔Mike Dupre'. ("GM has long, rich history in Janesville" ), ''Janesville Gazette'', June 3, 2008. Retrieved September 16, 2013.〕 A farm depression that started in 1920 forced Samson to curtail production and lay off more than 1,000 workers.〔 Samson eventually went bankrupt.〔 Although General Motors wanted to abandon the Janesville plant, its general manager, Joseph A. Craig, convinced the company to stay, and in 1920 GM transferred its truck production from Flint, Michigan to the Janesville plant.〔
