GM says main plant in Germany crucial to its plans

Germany – General Motors Co.'s top European official underlined the future importance of Opel's biggest German plant on Wednesday, while reiterating that there likely will be up to 9,500 jobs cut across the continent.

The Ruesselsheim factory in western Germany is not only a manufacturing plant but also a development center for Opel, Nick Reilly said after meeting with the governor of Hesse state, Roland Koch.

The fact that GM Europe is relocating its headquarters from Zurich to Ruesselsheim is "an indication of how important we believe this site will be," Reilly said.

He declined to give details of plans for the future of other Opel sites other than repeating that a restructuring plan is expected to bring up to 9,500 job cuts across Europe.
