GM Canada plans to manufacture face masks in Oshawa



OSHAWA, Ont. (April 24, 2020) - To help Canada meet the urgent need for face masks for health care professionals and other Canadians, GM Canada is preparing parts of the Oshawa plant to produce face masks based on the GM production model that already works in Michigan. We plan to manufacture approximately one million masks per month at cost to the Canadian government with an estimated 50 employees supporting two shifts of production. The project still requires the completion of additional work with our governments and Unifor partners and we will provide updates as we prepare to begin production.

"It is a proud day for all GM Canada employees to have the opportunity to prepare the Oshawa plant to manufacture millions of masks to help Canada fight the COVID emergency- 19. We look forward to partnering with the government and our union partners to make this happen quickly.
