General Motors de Mexico Silao Plant

Throughout Commercial Contracting Corporation’s 60‐year relationship with General Motors we have partnered on many diverse projects. This partnership has taken us to many different locations around the world, including work on their engine and transmission plant at the Silao, Mexico facility.

Our work in the Silao facility was spread over 2 years. In 2006 we were awarded work on the engine plant and in 2008 we won the transmission plant project. The engine plant was a completely new, green field plant at the Silao site. CCC was responsible for installing all the production machinery as well as all of the support equipment including coolant filtration, mist and dust collection, chip systems, and process waste tanks and piping. We completed this project in 18 months, beating the timing goals set in the original project scope.

In 2008 we began work on the transmission plant that was to be used for the production of a six‐speed rear wheel drive transmission. Over the span of 12 months CCC was solely responsible for the installation of all machining equipment, assembly and test equipment, coolant filtration systems, process piping, mist collection systems, and the crane/conveyor systems.

General Motors and CCC find it noteworthy that the completion of these two projects required over one million man hours and the projects were closed without having a single lost‐time incident.
