After much speculation and uncertainty, the President of General Motors for South America has finally spoken out about the closure of the Colmotores factory in Colombia. In an emotional interview with Blu Radio, he revealed the real reasons behind the decision to shut down the plant after 70 years of operation.
According to the president, the factory was operating at only 9% capacity and was struggling to sell just 11,000 units. This lack of demand and production efficiency ultimately led to the difficult choice to close the plant, putting an end to an era in the national industry.
“It is a dark day for the national industry,” the president added, expressing his nostalgia and pain over the closure of Colmotores. The decision will not only affect the employees of the factory but also have repercussions on auto parts manufacturers and suppliers in the region.
Despite the challenging circumstances, the president reassured that General Motors remains committed to the Colombian market and will continue to serve customers through other channels. The closure of Colmotores may be a significant setback, but the company is determined to overcome this hurdle and focus on future opportunities in the automotive industry.
The news of the factory closure has sent shockwaves through the country, with many questioning the implications for the economy and local communities. As Primicias prepares to publish more details on the situation, the conversation around the future of Colombia’s automotive sector is set to continue in the coming days.
