It was a General Motors automobile factory from 1966 to 2019, comprising three facilities: Vehicle Assembly, Metal Center, and Paint Shop. Lordstown was opened to build compact cars for Chevrolet, the Vega/Monza, Cavalier, Cobalt, Cruze, and their rebadged variants, mostly for Pontiac. The plant also built the Chevrolet van and its GMC variant (Handi-Bus/Handi-Van, Rally Van and Vandura) until 1995.[1]
In November 2019, the plant was sold to Lordstown Motors[2] which produced to manufacture the Lordstown Endurance electric pickup truck there from 2022 to 2023.[3]
In 2022, Foxconn purchased the plant. It plans to manufacture the Fisker Pear there.[4]
