Chrysler will spend about $1 million to build a new paint and body shop as well as two nearby stamping plants at its Sterling Heights facility in Michigan, reports Detroit Free Press.
The 425,000-square-foot paint shop will ensure new products and work for thousands of workers for years to come, said John Powell, senior manager of paint facilities and launch programs for Chrysler.
Chrysler plans to produce an all-new version of the Chrysler 200 in Sterling Heights. Production will begin in the first quarter of 2014.
The paint shop will be finished by early 2014 and will be able to paint cars, SUVs and crossover vehicles.
The redesigned Chrysler 200 will share its basic architecture with the Dodge Dart and the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
