Ultium Cells

The Lansing EDC has a long history of working with GM starting with the Lansing Grand River LGR Assembly Plant in downtown Lansing, which led to the Lansing Delta Township Assembly Plant (LDT). This plant builds the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, and employs three thousand workers with a recent annual payroll over $200 million. More recently, GM in partnership with Ultium Cells LLC, and LG Energy brought another great opportunity to the City and Township. GM and Ultium are now building a 2.5 million square foot facility adjacent to the LDT Plant to manufacture Electric Vehicle Batteries for use in Electric Powered Vehicles. Ultium will invest $2.5 billion to construct the facility that will be completed in 1 to 2 years. Employment work will ramp up over several years and is expected to generate 1,700 jobs at an average yearly wage of $46,000.
