HOLLAND – The Holland plant of Korean battery manufacturer LG Chem says it has doubled its workforce to more than 300 employees since its first commercial shipments of automotive batteries 23 months ago.

LG Chem and General Motors also announced this week a partnership across multiple GM lines for hybrid and electric vehicles.

“The conversation about lithium-ion battery manufacturing in North America isn’t about what’s going to happen in the future, it’s about what’s happening today,” said Nick Kassanos, president of LG Chem Michigan Inc. “High quality, affordable electric vehicles are today’s story and we are very excited to be a part of it.”
