DownriverResident Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm not a employee at Ford I just live in Brownstown and my neighbor who works at the Mazda plant keep telling people in the neighborhood that the Woodhaven Stamping Plant is going to close, is that true? What will happen to all the people that work there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damagedone37 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 #1 There isn't a Mazda plant anymore it's Flat Rock Assembly #2 We've been hearing Dearborn Stamping is going to start to do all the f150 stamping at the rouge dunno what work will be left but all those workers would follow their jobs to the rouge #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The workers can't follow their jobs unless there are openings, not to mention the fact that the work will be totally different. I have family at Woodhaven and they are being told that the plant will not close but will have limited staffing. The rest are being told that they will end up at Flat Rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodhaven44 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 We really don't know what is going to happen here at WSP, but I'm sure we will find out after the next contract. I don't see it staying open on a smaller scale, it makes no sense financially with a building this size. As far as Dearborn Stamping doing all the F150 work, that is incorrect. Besides DSP stamping parts, Buffalo Stamping, Michigan Stamping, Chicago Stamping, and DDMP will be making parts for the F150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be suprised to see Woodhaven be another stamper for Flat Rock and Avon Lake stamping parts for the Mustang and the next gen Taurus/MKZ. I did hear a while back that Chrysler was looking at perhaps purchasing Woodhaven, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mustang parts have all be assigned, with Flat Rock stamping most of them, and other Ford plants stamping the rest. Flat Rock will also stamp Fusion parts. Not sure about the next Taurus/MKZ , but I'd bet Chicago would keep stamping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you make stampings for other vehichles aside from the F-150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodhaven44 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Other than a new outer for the Navigator, we have no new work coming. Besides the F150 work, we also stamp many parts for the Mustang, Focus/Escape/C-Max, and Expedition/Navigator. There has been talk of the Focus work going to MAP. Also, I think the Expedition/Navigator gets a redo in MY 17. If that happens, I'm sure they will move the jobs that we do now down to KTP.

Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
