Hamburg stamping plant expected to benefit from Ford’s $682 million investment in Ontario factory

When the new investments for the Hamburg plant were disclosed in fall 2011, elected officials at the time said they expected the labor agreement to lead to 120 laid-off workers’ being rehired and 400 new jobs’ being created.
