Shreveport Operations

Shreveport Operations, officially the Shreveport Assembly and Stamping Plant, was a General Motors vehicle factory in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 3100000 ft2 factory opened in 1981 and produced the company's compact pickup trucks alongside the Moraine Assembly in Dayton, Ohio. At one point, 3,000 employees were on the payroll. Construction of the plant began in 1978, with an expansion in 2002 that included a new stamping facility.

The plant closed in August 2012 with the last truck produced being a white Chevrolet Colorado. On the front of the vehicle, a banner read "4,853,693rd". At that time, just over 800 hourly and salaried workers were employed there.

Elio Motors had announced plans to begin using the facility in 2014 to manufacture a new three-wheeled vehicle. The production date has since been moved back to 2017. Elio is working with production equipment manufacturer Comau, to sell off additional unneeded equipment at the factory.

Glovis America, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, acquired 125,000 square feet of the plant for use as a distribution center of Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Glovis also leases 90 acres at this site.
