Nearly 1,000 new hires start work at Ford's Kansas Plant; hires 175 more

Ford begins welcoming nearly 1,000 new employees at its Kansas City Assembly Plant to prepare for the launch of the all-new Ford Transit that goes on sale in the United States this summer.

The company also is announcing that 175 additional employees will be
hired by March to help build the new Transit. The new employees put Ford Motor Company on the top 10 list of Missouri employers.

"For decades, Ford E-series has been the leading choice among business owners for a tough, durable cargo vehicle that also delivers unmatched flexibility and capability," said John Ruppert, Ford GM, Commercial Vehicle Sales and Marketing. "Transit is the natural successor to E-series, taking flexibility and capability to new levels, while also adding in superior fuel efficiency."
