General Motors is shifting production of the Camaro into overdrive.
The company announced today that it’s adding a third shift at the Lansing Grand River plant to meet the expected demand.
That will create more than 500 jobs.
“This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Lansing Grand River produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers,” said Lansing Regional Plant Manager Mike Trevorrow in a press release.
“This is an exciting time at LGR,” said UAW Local 652 President Mike Green in the same release. “We just added the Chevrolet Camaro to our vehicle line up and now we get to expand the UAW-GM family, which will bring the plant to full capacity. What a great way to start the new year!”
The company says hiring is already underway, and that the new shift will begin some time in April, May, or June.

That will bring the total number of workers at the plant to around 2,300.
GM shifted production of the 6th generation Camaro to Lansing last year. The first cars were unveiled in May and started rolling off the line and into dealer lots in November.
The new Camaro was also named the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
