By early 2014, Nissan's production capacity will eclipse two
million units in the Americas, driven by recently added capacity at its U.S.
plants, as well as new facilities in Mexico and Brazil.
In response to strong growth opportunities throughout the
region and in an effort to isolate the company from volatility in global
currencies, Nissan is rapidly expanding its manufacturing footprint in the
Americas region with an investment of more than $5 billion USD in new plants
and increased production volumes. To support this aggressive growth and
expansion, the company is adding more than 10,000 jobs across the region, with
much of the hiring complete or underway.
