Oshawa assembly plant



The Oshawa plant, where GM Canada has its headquarters, produces the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac XTS cars, the majority of which are shipped south of the border, along with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.



The complex is one of three GM manufacturing facilities in Ontario, along with St. Catharines and Ingersoll.
