End of the Line for Pontiac Assembly Plant

This year, thousands of Michigan families are losing their jobs with the Big Three automakers and their suppliers. On Tuesday alone, Pontiac Assembly Center, the last assembly line in the scrappy capital seat of Oakland County, built its last truck. It is one of seven factories that General Motors expects to close in Michigan by late next year.

Once anchoring a complex where more than 14,000 people worked, Pontiac Assembly’s line is the last of dozens that once included Pontiac Motors, Fisher Body, Pontiac Truck & Bus and others in the community since the early 1900s.
