This week, Nissan North America reached a monumental milestone â€“ the company celebrated the production of 4 million vehicles at its Canton assembly plant in Mississippi. The automaker also announced that they have added a second shift at the facility, which will support increased demand for NV Commercial Vans, while also ensuring 250 hourly jobs.

"Adding a second shift for NV Van production underscores our employees' hard work and dedication to building world-class, quality vehicles for our customers," said Steve Marsh, VP of Manufacturing at the Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant.Â

The facility is also set to celebrate 15 years of vehicle manufacturing in Mississippi, which is another great milestone. Nissan has grown the plant from a regional manufacturing facility to a global one, investing $3.4 billion since its opening in 2003. The company employs 6,400 at the Canton plant, with more than 1,500 jobs added since 2013. With an annual capacity of 450,000 vehicles, the facility is home to the Nissan Altima, Murano, Titan and Titan XD, Frontier, NV Cargo Van and NV Passenger Van.

For our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, we are thrilled to hear that production of the NV Commercial Van will be accelerated since it is in high demand within our area for small business owners.
