Ford will
shut down
Down Under
MELBOURNE, Australia — Ford
Motor Co., saddled with high costs,
falling sales and financial losses,
will close its Australian car and engine assembly plants in October
2016 after almost nine decades of
manufacturing in the country,
Bloomberg and Reuters reported.
Ford, the smallest of the country’s
three manufacturers after Toyota
Motor Corp. and General Motors,
will shut its assembly plant in
northern Melbourne and an engine
plant to the west of the city, Ford
Australia CEO Bob Graziano said.
Ford, which will continue to import vehicles through more than
200 dealers, has struggled with sliding sales in a fragmented market,
high operating costs and a strong
Australian dollar.
The company said it will try to
maintain some of the 1,000 jobs at
its r&d division in Melbourne. Australia is one of four product development hubs for Ford’s global operations. It has lost the equivalent of
$578 million in the country over five
years, the company said in a statement.
“Our costs are double that of Europe and nearly four times Ford in
Asia,” Graziano said. “The business
case simply did not stack up. Manufacturing is not viable for Ford in
Australia.” c
