Im looking to relocate to the ann arbor area with my friend in April....does anyone know where I can apply to an assembly plant with Magna? I currently work in Assembly with them in SC...can someone help???

We just opened a new building in Rochester Hills, actually its Magna Electronics. Also we have a plant in Holly and they are also opening a new building next to the building in Holly with all new assembly lines coming in.

Get out of Magna and the Auto bizz buddy... it's all been moved to over sea's and it's not coming back. Wake up all.

LexaMar in Boyne City Michigan laid off almost 100 the first week of September. Now Ken Adams, Charlie Sitka and other Magna corporate friends have been hanging around making reckless changes that have made us worse off than before in my opinion.
Adams told us they were not shutting us down but I am skeptical. Anyone hear of getting work from us in the near future?

Note* to all on here ken Adams is a lunatic! He is a tool maker from way back that frank kept on… the guys makes all sorts of crazy decisions and comes up with his way only plans… that’s when crap hit’s the fan. If he is in your plant.. You can bet things are going to be worse off and then close later.. Give it six months to a year.

"If he is in your plant.. You can bet things are going to be worse off and then close later.. Give it six months to a year."
Ken Adams is not in LexaMar any more. After he left a year ago things were absolutely horrible until late this past summer when we were infused with a ton of people from Norplas. Now the place is crawling with managers and "helpers" from Norplas. They claim they are here to help us get on our feet...I dont trust any of them.
Are they going to close us in a year? Heck, Im not sure anymore. Seems as if they are feeling us out and studying us for some reason. Whether its for a good reason or not I just dont know any more.
I do know however the "helpers" from Norplas hire and fire and run the place like Gods and executioners as if tomorrow doesnt matter. Its as if the decision to close or keep the doors open at LexaMar has already been made regardless of our profit or loss.

I heard they are doing well, still making a profit. Even Plastcoat has cleaned up its act and is improving day by day.

I hear Ken Adams is running the show over at Plastcoat!!!!!!!!
