Flint North

GM Powertrain Flint North (GMPT Flint North) is a General Motors automobile engine and components plant located at the Stewart Avenue exit of I-475 in Flint, Michigan . The plant consists of several factories that combine to make the Flint North Powertrain plant. The 4,000,000 square foot plant was opened in 1905 as part of the Buick Motor Company and is the last part of Buick City still standing. The engine plant (Factory 36) portion of Powertrain Flint North is slated to close in June of 2008. It is famous for building the GM 3800 engine, one of the longest-produced automobile engines in history. The remaining factories (05, 9, 10, 14, 25, 29, 75 and 81) which compose the maintenance, sanitation and components producing buildings of the plant, have no estimated close date at this time. The employees of Powertrain Flint North are represented by UAW Local 599 and its President, Bill Jordan and Chairman Terry Everman.
