250k/year? I think it's 250/day.
I'm sure they would like to grow to 250k/year but that volume is the size of a major auto manufacturing plant. For reference, Nissan's Smyrna, TN plant will produce around 500k this year.
I also heard, from a reliable source, that when GM left their plant they left a lot of automation equipment such as many robots, material handling equipment and various storage related equipment. When I was last doing my MFg Engineering work, a good estimate for one Robot was $1,000,000.00. This is a real advantage to setting up an assembly line.
