Oakville Assembly Complex is a Ford Motor Company automobile factory in Oakville, Ontario, Canada spanning 5,464,000 square feet (125.4 acres). This landmark occupies the same site as, and combines, the former Ontario Truck plant and Oakville Assembly Plant and is clearly visible from the Queen Elizabeth Way and the Lakeshore West GO Train line. The first car plant on this site opened in 1953. It was the site of production for the company's minivans but was renovated with a $1 billion investment to produce crossover CUVs by 2006. Phase one was completed with the launch of the Edge and the MKX in the fall of 2006 and phase two was completed by spring of 2008 with the launch of the Ford Flex. The plant currently employs approx 3,000 workers.[1]
