General Motors to outsource body division
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Nine local motor body builders are set to benefit from General Motors East Africa (GMEA) plan to outsource its body building unit.
When the plan takes effect, General Motors will only assembly imported knocked down kits and put together the chassis before handing over the skeleton to the approved body builders.
This is definitely welcome news for the body builder who have not been spared by the effects the raging global economic recession. The bodybuilders have been complaining of banks unwillingness to lend and asset finance them.
Some of the body builders set to benefit from this arrangement include Labh Singh Harnam Singh (LSHS), Ban Bros, Dodi and 2M among others.
GM will guide the builders though the process as it wants its standards not be compromised. The firm will closely monitor aspects like shape, base colour, and sitting configuration.
