With the Cleveland Auto Show in its final weekend, consumers flock to the show, which is considered one of the largest in the country, to see the latest and oldest models of car brands. Throughout the country, the automotive industry has received criticism for outsourcing many of its cars and production assemblies. While that is true for some brands, there are some companies who build cars and engines in the state of Ohio and in return, keep thousands of jobs within state lines.
1. Chevrolet Cruze: The General Motors Lordstown plant, located twenty miles west of the Pennsylvania border, is the highest volume in single production assembly in the world with a total production of 16 million vehicles since 1966. The production of the Cruze started on September 8, 2010. Since then, the plant has built 1.3 million Cruzes since the launch. It's considered one of the highest selling brands in the country.
