Chrysler Nine Speed Transmission Plant Opens in Indiana

Chrysler Nine Speed TransmissionA Chrysler nine speed transmission is being built in a new plant in Indiana. After seven years and a couple false starts, Chrysler finally dedicated its new plant, located in Tipton, last week. The 782,000-square-foot facility is something the citizens of Tipton have impatiently waiting for.

The plant initially will be the workplace of 204 employees, many of whom were transferred there from four other plants in the nearby Kokomo area.

They will be found in the Jeep Cherokee; the new Chrysler 200; and various Fiat products in Italy, Turkey, China and Brazil. Read More
