Assembly was a General Motors Canada automobile factory, which opened in
1966. It was located in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec.
It later was the site for production of the F-body Chevrolet Camaro and
Pontiac Firebird. The plant closed in 2002 and was demolished. In the
mid-1980s, the plant was facing closure due to high absenteeism and low
quality of the G-body cars built there. However, a new labor pact and
improved quality, plus the availability of government-backed
interest-free loans, prompted GM to expand and modernize the facility.
Production of the Cutlass Supreme and Grand Prix stopped in February
1987 and the plant was retooled to build the Chevrolet Celebrity, using
equipment transferred from Oshawa.
