Nissan Plant Reaches 3 Million Vehicles Made

Sep 18, 2015

On September 14, 2015, the 3 millionth vehicle made at the Canton, Mississippi rolled off the assembly line. It was a 2015 Nissan Murano and it represented 12 years of handwork and over 6,000 jobs. The plant was also a huge contributor to charities with over 11 million dollars and countless man hours in donations.

The Canton plant was originally a regional manufacturing facility. Nissan chose to invest $2.9 billion in the plant over the years which has resulted in the plant becoming a global facility for manufacturing the Nissan Altima, Armada, NV Cargo Van, NV Passenger Van, Murano, Titan King Cab and Crew Cab and the Frontier King Cab and Crew Cab.

“It is fitting that our 3-millionth vehicle is a Nissan Murano. Since its launch last year, the Murano has continued to win accolades and grow sales. The vehicle’s quality and craftsmanship is a testament to the abilities and commitment of Nissan Canton employees,” said Steve Marsh, vice president, Manufacturing, Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant, Nissan North America, Inc. “The Nissan leadership team appreciates the Canton team’s efforts to build Murano and the other six models that roll off the plant’s vehicle assembly line each day.”
